Free Mural Workshop

The coastal community of Lucinda is set to gain a vibrant new public artwork, and locals of all ages are invited to take part in its creation.

Artist Lavinia Letheby, from Art By Lavinia, is leading a special mural project at the Dungeness Harbour Boat Ramp, transforming the amenities block with a stunning underwater themed mural. The artwork will bring colour and creativity to the popular fishing and boating spot.

To make this project truly community-driven, a free painting workshop will be held on Sunday, 30th March, from 9am to 2pm. The workshop follows a paint-by-numbers format, allowing participants of all ages and abilities to contribute to the mural in a fun and accessible way.

“Everyone of all ages and abilities can come along and help create this vibrant new artwork” Lavinia said.

Be a part of creating the new mural, everyone is encouraged to pick up a brush and paint.

To keep participants fuelled for the day, the Lucinda Progress Association will be providing a free sausage sizzle.

The project is supported by the Hinchinbrook Shire Council and Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), a partnership between the Queensland Government and local councils to foster arts and culture in regional communities.

Please note that the event is weather dependent and may be postponed to the following weekend if rain is forecasted.

For those keen to take part, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to a community artwork that will be admired for years to come.

Make sure you remember to slip, slap, slop and bring water for rehydration.

Art by Lavinia has painted many murals in the Hinchinbrook Shire Region, you will most definitely have seen her prior work. Lavinia is looking forward to returning to the region and she can’t wait to meet everybody helping in this community project.
