RED BRIDGE RAVEN Brings New Public Art to Downtown Kamloops

Did you know there is a new mural in downtown Kamloops that pays tribute to one of the city’s most familiar landmarks?

The RED BRIDGE RAVEN mural is now complete at Kelson Group’s office at 220 4th Avenue. Painted by internationally renowned muralist Archer in collaboration with Kamloops artist Vaughn Warren , the mural brings together local memory, public art, and a symbol many Kamloops residents will recognize.

The mural was painted from May 19 to June 1, 2026, with Kamloops serving as the first stop on ARCHER’s BC-wide mural painting tour. Beginning June 2, 2026, community members are encouraged to stop by Kelson Group to see the completed piece in person.
