Ottawa does have a outdoor wall mural art process. Some pieces are decidedly engaging or attractive.
Here, for your Friday viewing pleasure, are some wall murals from other cities, with after and before pictures, courtesy of Bored Panda, via WIMP, via Price Tags, blogs. These are probably best seen on a desktop monitor rather than your phone, as the joy is in the details.

Wow, these are pretty wild. There are a few in Canada as well; Toronto, Montreal, Victoria for example. But they are tame by comparison. And there are ‘the eyes’ at U of O, not to be overlooked – ahem.
I LOVE urban art! Thank you for this. Palmita Mexico- wow! A whole village painted. Thanks again Eric!
Very nice and thanks for posting.
If you want to see some fine examples of Urban Art there is no better example than Valparaiso Chile; a city which we visited last year. The whole city is one big mural art gallery.
Just Google Valparaiso Chile Art with images to see all the examples
