Laneway Street Art + The Games Children Play
Saturday 26th February 2022
12noon - 1pm
Laneway behind 144 Chapel St, St Kilda
Between Rosamond and Nightingale Streets
Street artist Heesco, well known for his silo works in regional Victoria, and four CALD artists have brought color and movement to Space2b’s laneway and café with a large scale mural featuring a menagerie of local birds and indigenous flora.
The mural spills out onto the laneway floor offering children’s street games from around the world. Limited walks and occupying children through Melbourne’s many lockdowns is the inspiration for these vibrant works.
