Community Painting Session Julatten
Explore Councils by state
The third year of Mareeba Shire Council’s Public Mural Action Plan is about to kick off with a vibrant new mural at Geraghty Park Hall in Julatten this January!
Local artist Lavinia Letheby (Art by Lavinia) from North Queensland will be bringing her creative touch to the Hall with an artwork featuring the stunning birds of the Julatten area, including the buff-breasted paradise kingfisher and the double-eyed fig parrot.
“We are very excited that Lavinia will be creating a beautiful space in Julatten, after delivering the stunning Chillagoe Town Hall and Mutchilba Community Hall murals in recent years,” said Mareeba Shire Mayor Angela Toppin.
The mural will grace the front of the library and the breezeway between the craft room and library, and Lavinia will carefully restore an existing mural by local journalist Peter Justice, painted in 1999.
Join us for a community painting session on Saturday, 18 January from 8 am – 12 pm! Drop by anytime and help us paint the mural by numbers.
Public artworks for Kuranda and Irvinebank are scheduled for later this year.
The Public Mural Action Plan is all about boosting our towns’ visual appeal, reducing graffiti, and promoting cultural tourism.
