“A community-led vision to transform Merbein into Australia’s Mural Capital!”
STAGE ONE
Merbein’s Early Heritage
The first major installation, celebrating Merbein’s unique heritage, will be on the 160-metre wall of the old IPC building in Merbein’s Game Street — a massive canvas that will become a landmark for the region and re-vitalise our town’s image and economy.
The Heritage Mural to be painted on the wall of the IPC packing shed, Game Street Merbein.
It will depict Merbein’s story including:
Indigenous activities at Zoologist Blandowski’s camp at Chaffey Landing (1857)
Establishment of irrigation settlement (1909)
Early industries Dried Fruit/Citrus/Wine
Soldier settlement (1917)
Palm trees and township identity
Local identities and stories
THE ARTIST
Fintan Magee
We have engaged the talent of world renown mural artist, Fintan Magee, to paint this flagship installation, bringing international attention and artistic credibility to the project.
Fintan is available to paint later this year, so our fundraising window is short. This is an opportunity not to be missed and really achievable with your generous support.
STAGE ONE BUDGET
$60,500 including 10% contingency
This will cover all equipment, materials, paint, design work, travel, artist fees, and marketing/promotion.
