Come and support rangatahi paint a mural with professional street artists Pops and Lucas! The mural is 164 square metres and wraps around two sides of Youth Hub's outdoor activity courtyard. Everyone is welcome to join in the painting.

This is a joint project between Youth Hub Christchurch and SCAPE Public Art, with support from Youth Hub architects Field Studio. It is supported by the Farina Thompson Charitable Trust and Mahi Toi, with materials donated by Bunnings Shirley and Resene. The project involves ten rangatahi from local schools, including one current Youth Hub resident, mentored by professional mural artists, Richie (Pops) Baker and Lucas Lunn, and facilitated by SCAPE Public Art.

These young people have already done four days of SCAPE workshops learning about different artistic styles and forming a vision for the mural. Now they are learning techniques from the pros.

The Community Painting Day is a free event with a relaxed vibe. Just drop in when you can. Bring yourself, your friends and whanau. Wear old clothes suitable for painting.
