Murals
During the Summer of 2020, we commissioned local artist Lynda McConnell to design a concept for a mural that would transform a 440’ foot concrete wall along Tacoma Drive. The vibrant mural is a symbol of celebration, with bursts of color depicting various scenes representing our community (businesses, lakes, Dartmouth pride), our vision (residential, growth, welcoming, diversity) and symbolizing a tribute to Nova Scotian stories of 2020.
The mural represents the new sense of energy in our community but it also adds colour to the Village on Main and enhances the pedestrian experience. By creating a colourful and modern mural we have announced that the Village on Main is becoming an increasingly vibrant community in HRM.
The 440’ mural is made up of numerous panels depicting life in the Village on Main. We have created a series of videos that explain the meaning behind the panels and why the artist included them in the mural.

In the Spring of 2022, we illuminated the mural with LED lights that can be programmed to display any singular color or movement of colors. The lighting enhances the mural scenes and brings a greater sense of safety to the otherwise dark street. The already unique and spectacular daylight scenes have become an unsuspected nighttime dazzle of images with the sensation of lighting.
