In Edmonton, if you can’t find what you want, you create it. When Melanie Dovale came here with her husband in 2010 from Montreal, she found chain stores, not the small, independent businesses she was used to. So she decided to open one of her own.

There are so many ‘Instagrammable’ walls in Edmonton. These are walls that catch your eye, that have a pleasing aesthetic and that photography well for social media.  

Instagrammable Walls can be mural or graffiti walls, brightly coloured walls, interesting texture walls, you name it. These interesting walls add to the beauty of a city and can attract people to a location that might otherwise not be frequented.
