Murray River Council is bringing vibrant new artwork to local primary schools through a creative mural project, delivered as part of the Council's Arts and Culture Strategy.
Funded via Council's arts and culture budget, murals will be painted at Bunnaloo, Tooleybuc, Barham, Wakool/Burraboi, and Moulamein primary schools.
Each school will collaborate with local artist Zowie Crump to determine the design and location of their mural, ensuring it reflects the unique identity and values of their school community.
Students will play a central role in the creative process, either designing the artwork themselves for Zowie to collate and recreate, or working together on a theme for her to bring to life.
The murals will serve as a visual representation of school values and ideas, providing a lasting legacy for students, staff, and the broader community.
Murray River Council Mayor, Cr John Harvie said the project is a great way to engage students in public art while encouraging creativity and school pride.
"This initiative not only gives students the opportunity to be part of a larger-scale art project, but it also supports our local arts and cultural sector."
"It's a fantastic example of community collaboration that will leave a lasting impact on our schools and towns," he said
Zowie is currently consulting with schools on their ideas, with work set to progressively take place over the coming months.
Council will provide updates via social media as the project progresses.
