A local artist has been chosen to create a mural for the 2020 Ontario Winter Games.
The Games Organizing Committee (GOC) put out a call to artists earlier this year and nine artists from throughout the province answered the call to create an 8’ X 12’ mural that encapsulates the theme, ‘Inspired: The Road to Gold.’
A four-member jury weighed the submissions and, ultimately, gave the highest overall score to Orillia artist Craig Mainprize.
Mainprize recently received the Emerging Artist Award at the Orillia Regional Arts Awards.
The mural will be unveiled on the big screen at the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 27 and find a permanent home inside the new Orillia Recreation Centre.
The Ontario Winter Games is a multi-sport event featuring 27 sports over four days of competition, taking place on February 27 to March 1, 2020.
