We have almost have half a rugby pitch in area, of unique murals across the City in our parks, buildings, and city centre spaces that tell the story of our people, history, culture and environment.
We want to keep these murals fresh and provide regular opportunities for local artists to showcase their work.
As part of our ongoing mural programme, we will be seeking expressions of interest from local artists to renew some of our well-loved existing mural sites. Keep an eye out here for more information or sign up here to be notified when a new wall is put up for re-design. publicmurals@poriruacity.govt.nz
