Helping with mosaic

A bare wall in Gosford that has been constantly tagged with graffiti will have a mosaic installed with the help of Peninsula community groups, Mingaletta and The Web Youth Service.

They have teamed up with members of the Gosford Business Improvment District community for a special project to tackle graffiti.

Project spokesperson Ms Deborah Lowndes said several local community groups and businesses would work together over the coming months to create a mosaic tile artwork in Gosford.

"A bare wall that is constantly being tagged with graffiti will now be home to a mosaic tile artwork facilitated by leading mosaic tile artist Guy Grossley," Ms Lowndes said.

"Guy has been responsible for many art projects around the country and has worked with numerous councils including Nambucca Heads.

"The mosaic project has been developed to create a sense of place in Gosford for the community, provide another beautification project for the city and act as a deterrent to the graffiti frequently appearing on the wall of the building.

"The technique of mosaic will engage many community groups and individuals including local schools, Gosford business owners, senior citizens, Headspace, Y Central and local multicultural community groups.

"The groups will base their design around the theme Reflecting the Past, looking to the Future which is about Gosford's history and how we see the city in the future."

Ms Lowndes said a series of workshops would see the completion of the project.

For information on how to become involved in the project, contact info@gosfordcity.com.au or call 4322 7726.
