'HART of Melbourne' Community mural celebration
How the mural was created
In 2023, we engaged local artist Angharad Neal-Williams to lead the project.
Angharad worked with students at 4 local primary schools to get to the heart of what our community loves about Hartwell.
Over 250 students depicted the activities they like to do with their friends and family nearby.
Their artwork now sits alongside Angharad’s own illustrations. Graphic artist Nicole van Dijk has transformed the images into a beautiful and vibrant 55-metre-long collage.
Thank you to all the students involved from:
- Camberwell South Primary School
- Glen Iris Primary School
- Hartwell Primary School and
- St Dominic's Primary School.
We funded and delivered this new community mural on council land in Camberwell.
See the vibrant artwork adding extra colour and life to the variety of retail stores, eateries and professional services within Hartwell Shopping Village. 1126-1142 Toorak Road, Camberwell.
The Hartwell community mural ‘Hart of Melbourne’ project is supported by the Hartwell Association of Residents and Traders, Community Bank Ashburton and the Victorian Government.
