The public will have an amazing opportunity to watch 11 artists paint large murals on 9 walls in the Hamilton CBD over 3 days on October 30th - November 1st.
Boon is working mostly with Waikato artists to create a unique sense of place and community identity through artworks in our city. This will be a great showcase of local artistic talent.
Artist's involved this year are Trustme, Boris Bandits (Gwil, E Bone), Jeremy Shirley,
The Underwater Collective,
Lupa,
Denise Fort, Craig McClure, Simon Blanchett,
Caitlin Moloney, and
Te Haunui Tuna.
Street art murals improve the quality of public space for everyone to enjoy. They discourage tagging and vandalism and often increase foot traffic in an area, helping to make those areas safer.
