Paul Archer- Murals

Keep your eyes on the walls as you wander downtown. Archer, the artist name of Victoria-based muralist Paul Archer, has returned to Grand Forks year after year, transforming buildings throughout the city with large-scale, highly detailed airbrush murals. His work ranges from local history and wildlife to imaginative scenes and murals created specifically for the businesses they adorn.

Archer’s murals have become part of Grand Forks’ visual identity, including his 2022 mural commemorating Queen Elizabeth II and 2025 commemoration of Ozzie Osbourne. Visitors can pick up a mural map at the Grand Forks Visitor Centre at Gallery 2 and explore the artworks throughout downtown
