Art was in the air – and on the wall – at Gull Self Serve Station in High Wycombe this school holidays, as the finishing touches to the Gull and Shire of Kalamunda stain-ability Community arts mural was completed.
The plant room at Gull Service Station, Kalamunda Road, High Wycombe has been transformed into a sea of creative characters, smiling faces and sustainable messages. The project, which was funded by Gull, has been a collaborative effort which has rolled out in a number of stages.
Director of Community Development Kevin O’Connor said, "School age children from year one to year seven from two local schools, Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School and Maida vale Primary School, recently took part in a series of drawing workshops with Perth mural artist, Paula Hart."
"The theme of the project was Sustainability and the kids were encouraged to think outside the square. Their designs were then scaled up into a mural, which now appear on the walls of the new plant room at the Gull Service Station in High Wycombe. Painting of the mural has taken place over the school holidays, with youth from the Forrestfield After School Care, and the general public taking part. The final result is a fantastic mural on site at the Service Station for all of the community to enjoy."
"I would like to congratulate everyone who has been involved in the project, the Coordinators of Forrestfield Out of School Care, Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School, Maida vale Primary School, Gemma Ben-Ary, Shire of Kalamunda arts and cultural development Officer, and our very talented community mural artist, Paula Hart, who facilitated the mural development and creation." He said.
