Girls Academy Mural Project 2017

About the Project

Esperance Community Arts partnered with ESHS Girls Academy by auspicing a YCulture grant which allowed our Aboriginal Arts Coordinator, Jennell Reynolds to work with Aboriginal students to design and paint a magnificent mural on the side of their school building using dot-painting technique. The mural tells the story of the girls meeting up in the first year of high school and travelling together through to year 12 and beyond. This project engaged a wide cross-section of the school community over three weeks with many individuals contributing to the completion of the mural. Discussions are now underway about the possibility of creating an art-trail throughout the school grounds with a thematic link to the two murals on the Girls Academy building.
