Vivid colours and themes of native flora and fauna now welcome children attending playgroup at the South Kingsville Community Centre.
A mural commissioned as part of Hobsons Bay council’s street art project was recently completed, wrapping the Paxton Street building in a vibrant range of images and designs.
The South Kingsville Community Centre (SKCC) was one of six locations across Hobsons Bay selected for the street art program.
“The mural provides children with an opportunity to learn more about native animals and parents are particularly fond of the way the colours uplift the centre,” SKCC manager Alexandra Jedlicko said.
“The wider community have also given us plenty of positive feedback about how the artwork improves the centre’s street appeal.”
The mural is the work of Footscray-based artists Jess Wilson and Lynn Bremner and took a month to complete. Next month, Wilson and Bremner will host a mural workshop for children at SKCC to coincide with its 30th birthday.
