Canada in Letters: A Journey Through Postcard Murals

Donation protected
Hi! I'm Marc. Along with my two best friends Shawn & Max, we’re hitting the road for the first Canadian Postcard Mural Tour. Our mission is to bring vibrant, postcard-style murals to small towns in Quebec and Newfoundland. These aren’t just any murals—they’ll feature the name of each town in bold letters, filled with imagery inspired by the people, history, and imagery of the community. Think Las Vegas-style postcard. Every mural will be co-created with local input, making it a true celebration of the town’s unique identity!

Here’s the plan: over two months in the summer of 2025, we’ll visit five towns, meet locals, gather their stories, and turn them into massive, eye-catching murals on a dedicated wall already secured with the town. We’ll document the entire journey with video and photos, showcasing the beauty of rural Canada.

But we need your help to make it happen! Your support will cover materials for the murals, RV rental and travel costs, and ensure our team of passionate artists has what they need to complete this exciting project.

The project total has been budgeted at $53,250 to complete the 5 selected towns over a 2-month tour. We’re seeking funding for the majority of the project through federal and provincial art grants, with our application set to be submitted by December 1. The amount in this GoFundMe represents the estimated gas, tolls, and any other travel costs that may come up along the way.

The goal of seeking crowdfunding for this amount has a dual purpose—it will reduce the overall budget and grant amount requested while also showing community support and interest in our project. Every donation is a vote "yes" for this project! Regardless of how small, your contribution makes a difference. What better way to show the government you support something than by donating your hard-earned money?

Join us in transforming these walls into works of art that celebrate Canada’s incredible small towns. Together, we can make public art accessible to everyone, one mural at a time. Let’s make this road trip unforgettable—thank you for being part of the journey!
