  • Cromwell Art Project -  - Cromwell Primary Mural

In 2017 the Arts Trust came up with an idea to get young people involved in creating art to put in public spaces in Central Otago. Following discussions between the Trust Coordinator and the Central Otago District Council Properties and Facilities Officer it was decided to commission a local educator to make this happen. Artist Maxine Williams facilitated a number of workshops for creative young people in Alexandra and Clyde. The final result was four wonderful mural panels which can now be seen in public spaces throughout the area. The 2017 project was so successful we decided to roll it out in Cromwell in 2018. We celebrated the unveiling of three murals created by students from Cromwell Primary, Goldfields Primary and Tarras School. A huge congratulations to all of the young people involved for creating these wonderful works.
