A chance to develop street-art skills, participate in a community artwork and highlight the awesomeness of the local bushland is happening on Tuesday 17th April.
The mega-mural is being spray painted during Youth Week and aims to feature local plants and animals.
Local street artist Graffiti Dan will be onsite to show the skills needed for street-art, there is information about what plants and animals can be painted on the CPPA website.
Spray painting is fun but the stuff the spray paints are made of have some very harsh chemicals in them, so we have to take safety very seriously.
All paint and personal protective gear (PPG) is provided. The PPG must be worn to participate.
To ensure safety participants must wear long sleeved shirt, long pants, covered shoes and a hat to prevent paint drifting on to skin and clothes.
Personal protective gear supplied includes
- eye shields to protect eyes,
- plastic poncho to protect skin and clothes,
- plastic gloves to protect skin and
- a respirator to prevent breathing in paint fumes
Two mural painting sessions will be held on Tuesday 17th April, 9am-noon and 1-4pm. There will be a BBQ as well. Bookings are essential so we know how many people to expect and cater for.
Information about what plants and animals to paint are on the CPPA website
