Murals are important in that they bring art into the public sphere. Liverpool's murals, depicting historical scenes from Queens County’s past were painted over a span of several summers, starting in 1993.
Matt Cupido, a Dutch painter living in Canning, is the painter of Liverpool's two striking murals which are located on the waterfront facing the picturesque Mersey River. The first heritage mural depicts the "Protectors of Liverpool" circa 1780 a tribute to early settlers of the area. The second mural, the "History of the Mersey River" is one of the largest murals in Atlantic Canada, covering a space of nearly 6,500 square feet. These larger than life pictorials tell the story of the Mi'Kmaq settlements and the rich history of Queens county forefathers.
Mi'kmaq is the plural from of Mi'kmaw, meaning "our kin-friends" or "my friends."
