About The Gimli Art Club and its "SEA
WALL" Murals.
THE
STORY BEHIND THE MURALS.
The GIMLI ART CLUB and it's members created
the murals as gifts to the community.
It is the wish of the artists involved that the display be enjoyed
by all,without restriction, and that viewers will come to know
and understand the varied history of the peoples of the area
and the beauty of the changing landscape of the Eastern Interlake
of Manitoba.
None of this artistic work would have been possible without
the assistance of a major sponsor. The artists would like to
pay special thanks to the GIMLI CREDIT UNION, its Board,Shareholders
and the manager at that time...Catherine Robertson, for their
understanding and generous financial support in the purchasing
of materials for the preparation, the paints for the artwork
and the final protective coatings needed.

This is done by providing memberships to professional artists,
enabling them to participate in members' exhibitions and various
other functions throughout the year. This permits the artist
to gain important exposure, sales of work, and also other career
opportunities, while at the same time experience and develop
friendships with Manitoba artists.
