Petrie Park Mural Painting Event I
We had a great, successful time at our first community mural painting session. Many kids, families, and others came along to have a go and it turned out great!
We painted indoors at Pareawa Banks Avenue School since the weather wasn’t cooperating. First we mixed the paint, then they could choose which panel they wanted to work on. There were colourful backgrounds to paint, detailed portions, and the more-tricky dogs of Petrie Park. We asked the users of Petrie Park to submit photos so that their dogs could be featured on the mural, as it’s a popular area with dogs. And we received over 20 photos of their dogs!
Our mural painting session will hopefully be held on-site at Petrie Park, where we’re working to convert the empty former bowling ground (demolished post-quake) into a beautiful, welcoming community park. Our next community painting session is Saturday 25 August 11am-3pm. Please come along!
Thank you to Bridget Allen for the amazing mural design and all of your hard work. Thank you to Hayley Guglietta who not only was the visionary years ago, but has applied for all funding and is the committee member behind this project.
We hope to see you in August!
