Five new murals have sprung to life around Murray Bridge’s CBD as part of the Wall to Wall street art festival.
The festival had been announced in February and the five participating artists named in March, but their designs had remained a mystery until the brushes, rollers and aerosols came out late last week.
Justine McAllister’s mural on Fourth Street, on the side of the Salvation Army thrift shop, shows a woman reading a book by the River Murray.
Her pop art style was “a bit modern for some people”, she admitted, but she hoped locals would appreciate it.
Nearby, UK-based silo artist Smug painted a child with a haunting expression on the back of Murray Bridge Regional Gallery; Stephanie Cartledge and her helpers created a modernist design, Current Connections, at the Independent Learning Centre; and DREZ’s geometric patterns breathed life into the Edwards Square sound shell.
