The ‘Bassendean Gallery’ comprises over 50 artworks from 42 Perth artists in an initiative to combat ongoing vandalism.
The Town of Bassendean’s Mayor, Kath Hamilton voiced her support for project;
“The Town of Bassendean has been successful in providing a practical yet beautiful solution to an issue that directly affected the amenity of residents and users of the shared path, by partnering with the arts community and local property owners. Thanks to all the artists involved in the project who have donated their creative intellectual property to help transform the site and allow commuters and path users to appreciate it for many years to come.”
Young artists were able to put their skills on display at a site that runs along the Midland Train Line where their pieces can be seen by the millions of commutes made each year.
The Project was not just for urban artists. Painted art pieces of any kind were invited, and those that prefer a brush to a spray can were encouraged to participate.
What's next?
The Town of Bassendean has confirmed potential sites for new installations, with a new batch of artworks currently in progress. Stay tuned for more information, or if you'd like to get involved please contact [email protected].
