Whitlam Park street art project
Fitzroy is bursting with community projects that incorporate art. I recently reported on the works exhibited in Safeway on Smith St produced by young people working through the Napier Studios. On the side wall of the Down Syndrome Victoria building in Whitlam Park on the corner of Napier and Moor streets is another Napier Studios project that deserves to be acknowledged. Local artists including Reka mentored the contributors and participated in creating the mural.
It was completed earlier this year but I had not looked at it up close to see the plaque until recently.
