Ryan Smeeton's Street Art Mural for Ottawa's Wellington West depicting a faceless figure with a wrench

The Working Class Tribute

2018activeHintonburg

Hintonburg exists at the intersection of industry and ingenuity. The neighbourhood's story starts with its working-class backbone, yet its current chapter is defined by its rise as a vibrant artistic hub. The mural provides a perfect visual key to this narrative arc: the central figure serves as the keeper of both eras, holding the weight of its industrial legacy in one hand and the promise of its creative future in the other.
