With plans to continue building on the success of the ‘Track to the Future’ mural project, Railway City Tourism is putting out a call to artists for their next project.
Railway City Tourism is currently seeking expressions of interest from artists who would like to design and paint an original mural of an elephant in St. Thomas.
They ask that designs for the elephant murals be original and modern, while also picking up on hints of the history within the community.
The new additions are planned to go up throughout the city in late September and will bring more than just the beauty of art to St.Thomas.
Select elephant murals will be incorporated into the new ‘Engage’ augmented reality app to be designed by EXAR Studios and launched in summer 2021. Users of the app will be able to see the elephants as avatars that help guide explorations of the city.
