MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK
Location: 1746 Water St., Miramichi, New Brunswick
A simple reminder to stop and smell the lupins. As we are coming out of the gates from lockdown, this piece is a reminder to be easy on ourselves. We might not recognize the stress and impact of the pandemic. We don’t need to go back to how itwas but can create healthier habits.
MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK
This work is a result of great conversations with the community. Lupins opened up the dialogue. It’s unreal how a can of paint can create that comfort to share. Youth from the community painted the trees, and made sure I added the word “love” in Mi’kmaq, in there.
Location: 1746 Water St., Miramichi, New Brunswick (in the alleyway)
MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK
Artist: JUNE (S.KOREA)
156 Wellington St, Miramichi

SAINT JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK
Location: 89 Princess St.
Wolastoq.
"As we prepared to paint this mural the Wolastoqey First Nations chief formally requested that New Brunswick change the name of the St.John river to Wolastoq. I knew nothing of this community before reading the headlines as I’m from Northern Ontario. But, as a guest I have a responsibility to 'knowledge up'. I hope this mural helps create dialogue of ally-ship, and our shared responsibility to acknowledge and respect the land we are on.
The turtle like the water is massive and carries a presence that deserves Respect. I also encourage you to ask elders about the turtle and her shell, it is not my teachings to give but I hope the wall is used as a visual aid and daily reminder."

Si on se ne voient pas, on s’entends pas, dans les media comment peut on y croire qu’on a notre place ?"

Eva Bracamontes
Over the last year we received a lot of requests from cities across the country to learn about how we work or to organise a mini Inspire, but so far we have focused our efforts on Greater Moncton. However... we could not resist the Village of Petitcodiac who invited us to help them make their Main St. more colourful.
A dynamic mural has replaced a dull white wall of Main street, helping to bring pride into the village, keeping young people around and making this place more community-friendly.
In partnership with Ten Thousands Villages.
For this special project we invited Eva Bracamontes, an amazing artist coming right from Mexico to the Village for a whole week of creation on the Main street of the Village of Petitcodiac.

Alegria del Prado (SP)
391 Coverdale Rd, Riverview
Female artist for Festival inspire 2016, Esther del Prado is half of the duo Alegria del Prado from Spain.
The duo has been working together since 2010. In their work they create dream worlds, calling for harmony between nature and the modern world. Their murals integrate their art into everyday life.
Esther painted this gigantic mural solo in 6 days in front of the Petitcodiac River, highlighting some Canadian symbols like the bear, the salmon, the forest and Monarch butterfly. This mural is the first one Festival Inspire created in Riverview, NB.
Dan Kitchener (UK)
178 Robinson St, Moncton
Moncton fell in love at first sight with "Tokyo Candles", the insane mural of the solo British muralist Dan Kitchener.
Always smiling while painting faster than a machine, we were all amazed by Dan K's incredible technique. He will keep the heart warming people of Moncton in his artist portfolio for life.
Eelco (NL)
Castle Manor, 217 University Av., Moncton
Moncton, Festival Inspire, and Eelco is a kind of love story. Everybody told us how much they loved the amazing mural he did in 2015 on Edith Cavell School. That's why when an awesome and unexpected project came to us we decided to bring Eelco back in Moncton, and entrust him with the... Castle Manor Mural!
The building is a protected masterpiece, but in agreement with the new owners and Moncton Heritage, a "non-patrimonial" wall, on the backside of the Castle has been painted by Eelco with some patterns that speak to the long history of the castle.
Such an exciting project!
Fred Harrisson (CA)
14 Rabbi Lippi Medjuck Ave, Moncton

Konecki (USA)
300 st George St., Moncton
San Diego-based artist, Christopher Konecki loves writing about himself in the 3rd person.
Konecki is self-taught, and constantly experimenting. His work is explorative of social consciousness, generally irreverent, and focused on subjects that are both serious and absurd. His use of found and 'repurposed' objects advocates the reassessment of typical ideals of function and beauty.
Earning his BA from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2008, Konecki has since exhibited in galleries throughout Southern California. His expanded work includes curation, murals, live painting events, apparel design and sports graphics, and his work has been featured on the covers of San Diego Citybeat and NUG Magazines. His installation work may be viewed in numerous San Diego establishments, including Vin De Syrah Wine Parlor, Waypoint Public Restaurant, SILO, Common Theory and The Local Pacific Beach.
Philippe Baudelocque (FR)
3 Champlain St, Dieppe
216 Gauvin road, Dieppe
434 Main St, Moncton
Do not, above all, tell Philippe Baudelocque that he is a street artist : the young man hates being confined to the street. Or anywhere else for that matter!
His freedom is of paramount importance : processes, creative supports… His thing is to experiment. His white chalk drawings on black were first discovered several years ago, on the façade of a boutique in a street in the Marais.
His notorious graphic animals and poetic constellations have gone from strength to strength. Baudelocque loves breaking down traditional barriers and building bridges between artistic and commercial worlds and spheres.
These black and white ideas have a calm humanity, at peace with itself and its environment.
Shantz (CA)
475 st George St, Moncton
With a practice spread across painting, drawing, sculpture, muralism, photography, graphic arts, and cinematography, Jeremy Shantz’s work is best described as west coast-infused and pop surrealist. Born in British Columbia, he studied classical painting, sculpture, film, and creative electronics, receiving his BFA at UBC-Okanogan and Emily Carr. He now lives and works in Montreal and exhibits internationally. We would have this happy human back in town any day!
Jose di Gregorio (USA)
212 Rue St. George, Moncton
Jose Di Gregorio was born in Puerto Rico but has spent most of his life in California and quickly fell in love with Moncton. Working on either paper, wood or walls, his paintings reflect stylized landscapes at night, rainbow arches or layers of overlapping geometric lines and galaxies. José spent an emotional overwhelming week in our community, thanks to a mix of rainy days and human warmth.
He already plans to come back with his two daughters to let them enjoy the Maritime way of life.
Ruined Sundays
286 Rue Robinson St., Moncton
The artist Ruined Sundays from Montréal worked on the back fence of Youth Q.U.E.S.T. Central on a collaborative project of free expression with the residents of the center.
Mathieu Francoeur (CA)
811 Main St, Moncton
Mathieu Francoeur is a well known artist in NB.
He won the jury's favour in our call to artists in 2016 to create this giant installation on the back wall of the Capitol Theatre. The installation has become a symbol of the city and allows everyone to fly even for just a few moments on their daily life.

Eelco (NL)
125 Park St, Moncton

All 270 students participated in the work by painting a giant rainbow through their very own playground.
Aaron Glasson (NZ)
120 Westmorland St, Moncton
Title: "Apple of my Eye"
"I'm painting as part of a collaborative project with my friend Celeste Byers. It's about a group of inter-dimensional travelers who move around in a teleport. The characters are from another dimension and are visiting Moncton, or a parallel version of Moncton. If you look closer you will see many specific details about Canada and Moncton's cultural roots.
They are in awe, taking in the splendour of life forms like apples, veggies, and birds. To me it's also about some other stuff like the unseen power of being and personal strength."
Overwhelmed by his experience in Moncton, Aaron decided to make a short movie about this experience called Merci Moncton
JEEP (CDN)
85 Bonaccord St, Moncton
Jeep Jones, AKA the Daydreamer is in love with superheroes in a parallel colourful word. Painter and musician, he offered the lucky kids of Roche Papier Ciseaux's school an inspiring recreation yard where they can dream the future in multicolour.
Kevin Ledo (MTL)
104 Wesley St, Moncton
Title: ”The Universe in his Eyes”. A mural inspired by a photo of a homeless man in L.A., taken by U.K photographer Lee Jeffries.
