Art Street Art
Art Street Art is a youth project funded by the Premier’s Fund for Children and Young People in collaboration with the Future Impact Group and George Town Council.
Art Street Art has the opportunity to turn Macquarie St (the shopping precinct of George Town) into Art Street, by creating Street Art.
A fun play on words 😉
The project was co-designed by local youth (term 1), with workshops to equip them in skills (term 2&3) and installation of various forms of street art to launch an Art Street event (term 4).
Art Street Art works to encourage youth to develop a sense of pride in the precinct and to contribute creatively to the streetscape of the town, minimising vandalism, anti-social behaviours and damage to Council and public property.
“Time Plantina” – located at the rear of the Ya Pulingina Welcome sign at George Town Tasmania. Developed in collaboration with Andrew Mansell and local Aboriginal youth, the mural features a black snake that weaves through local Aboriginal stories, reflecting the significance of the river clans and their connection to the sun, stars, and seasonal cycles. Below is audio of the mural.
