Oriental Bay Mural Will Educate And Brighten The Beach
Wellington City Council hopes that a mural being painted on the seawall at the Oriental Bay Beach will be educational, as well as brightening the beach area.
Work began on the mural yesterday and it is hoped that it will be launched during Sea Week in June.
City Council's Community Arts Co-ordinator, Eric Holowacz says a lot of research was needed before work could start on the project.
He says that has resulted in four artists being engaged to contribute to the mural's panels, depicting various aspects of undersea life, including invertebrates and large marine animals.
