Standing Tall: World's Tallest Mural now stands 310 feet above Calgary

If you are on the Ferris wheel at the Calgary Stampede you’ll notice the view is more colourful now that the World’s Tallest Mural is done.

This was done as part of YYC Bump, a month-long art festival in Calgary starting in August.

German graffiti artist DAIM worked on this with the help of three Calgary artists: JD Warkentin, Josh Creighton, and AJ Starlight.
