Public Art in the Campbell River Region
So often we are surrounded by the familiar, and as a result, cease to see it. This is the case with Public Art, which is found throughout our community, but we don’t always recognize it as art. The following photos taken by Heather Hughson remind us of the amazing works, from carvings to murals that grace our city and enhance to its beauty.
