Community Canvas
The Story Behind This Artwork
Artist: Akos Juhasz
Location: City Hall, 388 Kent St.
The community canvas, now hanging in Maryborough City Hall, is the combined work of many, funded by Fraser Coast Regional Council and facilitated by professional artist Akos Juhasz in December 2017.
This mural provided an opportunity for everyone, with or without artistic skills, to create an enormous painting about love, forgiveness, respect, honor, family, peace, empathy, friendship and happiness – creating a vision for a beautiful future for our community.
Historically the City Hall is a symbol of Maryborough’s community spirit, at the heart of the city, and has stood for 110 years as an important community meeting place and a venue for social and cultural celebrations.
Our featured sponsor is Earles Paint Place, Maryborough who have generously supported the Maryborough Mural Project since it’s inception and who have provided most of the paint and paint supplies needed to complete our murals. Without their generous and passionate support of the Project we would not have been able to achieve what we have to date. Earles continue to support and sponsor the project as a major contributor in helping to revitalise Maryborough through Art.
