Public art is all around us, and when you take a moment to look around you’ll find some amazing pieces. While walking around downtown there is always one mural that catches my eye every time. Located on the back side of the Burton Cummings Theatre (formerly known as the Walker Theatre, 364 Smith Street.) is an untitled piece by Winston Leathers (1932-2004).

This piece happens to be one of Winnipeg’s oldest and largest murals to this day. Which is a part of the “Artwalls” public art project as well as Leathers’
