Tewantin celebrates a new splash of colour

The Tewantin community and visitors celebrated a new splash of colour in the town at the launch of their Street Art Party on Saturday.

Tewantin Traders Association president Barbara Sheriff said the fresh art works truly brought Tewantin to life.

“They been so good for the community and there was a great crowd of people in attendance to see the finished art works,“ she said.

“We had two musicians playing – Di brown on keyboard and singing with Elvis on bongo drums and James Bingham on double bass, and Andrea Kerwin on guitar.

“We also had the amazing Nova Star Productions stilt walkers roving the streets and Andino the Magician doing magic card tricks in the street.“

Mural artist Sarah Sculley, who painted the drain pipes and Bendigo Bank, spent the day doing some kids painting on to calico strips which are going to be tied around trees in Tewantin next week.

“We also had Sue Hoskin, the mosaic artist that did the four mosaic wall murals, doing a hands on talk about how to mosaic,“ Barbara said.

The mural that the community made will be put up on a wall in Tewantin in the coming weeks.
