ROADWAY ART

Artists in Wood Street!
Can you help? Please give two hours! (or more) Bring friends & family! Paint the street and pavement!
Wood Street will be one-way from 1 December 2020 and special national funding is enabling this street innovation.
Templates have been cut and artists and other volunteers are required from 9am on Friday 4 December, Sunday 6 December and Monday 7 December. Head for Wood Street and be part of this community project! Tell your family and friends!
The tasks are to sweep, chalk out the designs, paint the first coat, paint the second coat and then the top coat. Paint, rollers and brushes supplied. Traffic management will be present. Painting will start at the Golf Course end on the new ‘gateway’ to Wood Street.
Induction every two hours 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm. There will be a painted roundabout at the other end of the shops.
The art depicting rocks, waves and fish life is to add interest, flair and slow traffic. All volunteers are welcome – and some artists are needed each day. The road art is accompanied by new seating made by Mangawhai Mens’ Shed and some planting.
It is an iterative design process and the paint will last for two years. Aaron McConchie and Ella Rickit are leading the art input.
