Village Mural
Unfold Your Own Myth
Artist: Sandeep Johal
This mural celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of Bard on the Beach. The central female figure is inspired by this year’s strong female leads and is surrounded by a supporting cast of local animals set within the natural splendour of Vanier Park. – Sandeep Johal
