Oakland Galbraith made history at the 2020 Vancouver Mural Festival.
As a 12-year-old, he was the youngest artist to create a piece of street art for the annual event.
That accomplishment is celebrated in Episode 5 of the latest season (Season 6) of
CBC Arts: Exhibitionists.
The documentary series streams on CBC Gem.

Oakland decided to use the opportunity to send a message of hope for the environment.
His mural featured a rocket powered by Earth Day protesters who are leading people “towards the future they want.”
