PAINT the town red, pink, yellow and blue at Nacho Station\u2019s upcoming free sidewalk mural workshop in Hargreaves Mall.<\/p>\n
From 11am to 4pm on Saturday, 29 May the artist collective will guide participants of all ages in a chalk-based Mary Quant mural commissioned by the City, and Nacho Station organiser Reece Hendy said the experience builds on artists\u2019 previous work in a unique way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve already done a couple of pavement artworks around town being at the Piazza in the centre of town and also one on Lyttleton Terrace and that\u2019s added a bit of colour to the streets, but what we wanted to do was make a more accessible and interactive version of these artworks so we\u2019re doing a bit of a Mall takeover where the public can come and help out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main inspiration for this one is for people to connect with the exhibition but also feel like they\u2019re a part of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not just witnessing what\u2019s happening in their town they\u2019re actually getting involved and they can wear it as a little badge of honour that they\u2019ve been involved in something like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe design will be Quant, 60s, fashion inspired but there\u2019s also a little bit of room to move so we\u2019re going to have some templates that makes it really easy for any skill level to get involved but there might also be some areas for people to add their own creative flair as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
