We are pleased to invite Maple Ridge artists to submit artwork to be considered for our ‘We are Maple Ridge’ collage-style murals, which will be digitally printed in large format vinyl and permanently installed on a new building in Hammond this September 2020.
9 pieces of artwork from local artists will be chosen by our jury to be included in the collage designs that highlight some of the unique qualities of Maple Ridge and the Hammond community.
