New Mullewa entrance mural to celebrate culture and cohesion

Published on Monday, 13 June 2022 at 8:09:26 AM

Callaghan Park will be the site of a vibrant new mural set to add to the cultural cache of Mullewa.

The new piece will be a collaborative effort from renowned local artists Charmaine Green, Helen Ansell, Pauline Bell, Debra Maher and Susan Merry.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn is excited about the new work.

“Mullewa already has some fantastic public art and this new painting will be a wonderful addition to the collection,” he said.

“This artwork celebrates the key components that make up the rich fabric of Mullewa’s heritage and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

“I urge everyone to come and check out the mural once it is installed.”

Artist Charmaine Green is also looking forward to seeing the work come to life. 

“Our vision for the entrance mural is to represent the pathways of connectedness and cohesion of the Mullewa community whilst also depicting the elements for which Mullewa is famed,” she said.

“The name Mullewa comes from the traditional name for the Mullewa Spring so water is a connecting theme throughout the mural.

“As artists, we are delighted to be a step closer to finishing the work and we encourage everyone to come down and view it once it is complete.”

The new Mullewa entrance mural is due to be finished by the end of June, subject to weather.
