Colour our city

 


I really like how this building in Whangarei stands out. I'm not sure what it was used for originally but it now belongs to the Salvation Army with the outside colours and patterns being painted by Josh Moetara, a kiwi artist. I can't find alot of information about Josh but the words below his name saying "colour our city" are from the 2020 event where New Zealand artists painted buildings and walls around the town.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

Colour makes a huge difference to what would otherwise be a drab building.

Definitely colourful. Our buildings of that era need it, not a lot of imagination or art went into the design of the building itself did it?

It's beautiful and sounds like my city's Avenue Art Days. We didn't have one in 2020, though because of Covid. I love the colors and the patterns. The liven up that building beautifully.
