About the Future Families Mural and Artwork
Inspired by the varied landscapes found in the Pacific Northwest of Canada, Future Families captures the excitement of exploring nature and spending time with loved ones.
Housed in window boxes along the exterior of the Main & 28th BMO branch, the four dioramas show people enjoying different elements of the natural world, from the sea and the sun to the wind and the night sky.

Partners
These works of art were made possible by BMO in collaboration with STEPS Public Art. BMO’s National Mural Series was designed to create opportunities to celebrate local communities and the people who live and visit them. By working with hyper local artists to design murals with meaning and impact specific to each location, BMO hopes to bring art to locations where artists and community members might not otherwise have an opportunity.
At BMO, we are proud to be partners in these communities, celebrate our customers, and support local artists. These beautiful pieces of art not only express BMO’s values and celebrate diversity they also provide opportunities to surprise and delight those visiting our branches. We look forward to expanding this program and curating many more murals in branches across Canada.
