At its heart is a glowing dandelion, delicately designed so that its petals appear to drift into the night sky after dark. Surrounding it, vibrant flowers bloom across the wall, celebrating growth, imagination, and the natural beauty woven into the city.

STARLITE ROOM/ Y AFTER HOURS
NELSON "DEDOS" GARCIA
The new mural by Nelson “Dedos” Garcia at The Starlite Room and Y After Hours brings a bold new energy to one of Edmonton’s most iconic downtown music hubs. Long hidden behind a neglected wall that had stood untouched for over two decades, the space has been completely transformed into a vibrant homage to hip hop culture—infused with Dedos’ signature style.
The mural features expressive characters, layered graffiti textures, and rhythmically charged color, reflecting the raw creativity and community spirit that have long defined the city’s underground music scene. Created as part of the Edmonton Mural Festival’s partnership with Sonic 102.9, this project celebrates both art and sound—uniting local artists, musicians, and audiences through a shared love of culture and creativity. What was once an overlooked backdrop is now a living, breathing canvas that celebrates movement, music, and the pulse of downtown Edmonton.
ATB PLACE
TIFFANY CUFFLEY
The new mural at ATB Place by Edmonton artist Tiffany Cuffley reimagines an ordinary concrete barrier as a dynamic and uplifting work of public art. Spanning both sides of the wall between the promenade and the alley, Tiffany’s light-activated design transforms what was once a dull and utilitarian structure into a playful, colorful focal point within the downtown core.
Her use of bold forms, layered color, and reflective light creates an artwork that changes in character throughout the day—inviting passersby to pause, explore, and engage from multiple angles. As daylight and artificial light interact with the painted surface, the piece reveals new details and moods, embodying the spirit of transformation and creativity that defines Edmonton’s growing public art scene. What was once a concrete divider has become a vibrant connector—bringing warmth, joy, and imagination to an unexpected place.
BUBBLES CAR WASH DOWNTOWN
LINDSEY MILLIKAN
The new mural by Lindsey Millikan at Bubbles Car Wash brings fresh movement and cultural energy to the heart of downtown Edmonton. Once an unassuming exterior wall passed by without a second thought, the space has been transformed into a striking tribute to street-dance culture—infused with Millikan’s signature balance of sharp detail and atmospheric colour.
​
The mural captures a breakdancer frozen in a powerful stall pose, surrounded by soft gradients and a vibrant-but-muted palette that gives the work both intensity and elegance.
TRAPPED/FRENCH QUARTER
OLIVIA DI LIBERTO
The new mural by Olivia Di Liberto in Edmonton’s French Quarter brings a whimsical and heartfelt charm to the neighbourhood. What was once a simple façade has been transformed into a warm and inviting celebration of Francophone spirit—wrapped in Olivia’s signature playful style.
​
At the centre of the mural, a charismatic cat savours pastries and a coffee, surrounded by hand-drawn iconography that captures the familiar comforts, flavours, and aesthetics of French culture. Emblazoned with the phrase “Prenez le temps” (“take the time”), the artwork encourages viewers to slow down, savour the moment, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. From delicate baked goods to classic café motifs, each element is layered with humour, personality, and visual delight.
