Monday Mural - A splash of colour III

In the neighbouring suburb of Lynwood, I found another set of painted electrical boxes, part of the Water Corporation project to beautify their boxes - Splash of colour WA. 

They were painted in August 2019, in Purley Park, Lynwood, by local Aboriginal artist Justin Martin, who worked with students from year 4 and 5 from Bannister Creek Primary School (located next to the park), who drew an array of animals known to live along the banks of the local Canning River - turtles, dragon flies, frogs and egrets - and the final design incorporated these.

  12. The Toronto Outside the Box program has been cancelled for 2020 due to the pandemic.
    Since 2013, over 350 boxes have been hand-painted by local artists, or wrapped featuring designs by local graphic artists.
