Today we met the artists! 🎨
Our Chamber Boost Fund mural project took a big step forward today as we met the final artists, selected through an extensive EOI process and curated by Art Public.
Congratulations to Heidi Ledwell Mitch Schultz Belinda Smith Shiarna MealieArt Lauren Gray 🌟
Byron Coathup from Where creativity comes to work, who is project managing the works, joined us for a walk up Proudfoots Lane to revisit the murals Business Murwillumbah delivered last year under the CID Pilot Project for Transport for NSW. It was a great chance to see how far the laneway has come and imagine what’s next.
This project responds directly to community feedback about graffiti and public safety. The artists will transform graffitied roller shutters along the lane, and new tree lighting will make it brighter and more welcoming after dark.
The chamber’s time on this project is entirely volunteered, so the full grant goes to the artists, project management, materials and lighting.
Thank you to Tweed Shire Council for supporting this project through a $15,000 Chamber Boost grant, and to Byron and the Art Public team for bringing together such a talented group of artists.
Stay tuned! ✨
