Clare Walton

Children love to make art. The mural is an engaging interactive way for children to enjoy and express themselves, in a collaborative way.

The festival mural is constructed from recycled materials, sourced from a variety of areas including the banks of the Yarra River, Port Phillip Bay and Reverse Art Truck.

This interactive mural making event shows how waste can be turned into a thing of beauty. It aims to raise some unsustainable environmental issues: the careless overuse of resources, our throw away attitude to ‘stuff’ and the excesses of our consumer lifestyle.
