Free Urban Art Mural Workshops for Young People

Thanks to funding from the Department of Justice, the City of Canning is excited to deliver its second six-week block of Urban Art Mural Workshops for young people.

This free program is designed for young people and offers a hands-on opportunity to learn from an experienced mural artist while creating a vibrant public artwork on City assets. The workshops focus on building creativity, confidence, and community connection, while encouraging positive decision-making and raising awareness of mental health and locally available support services.

Workshop details:

• When: Tuesdays, 17 February – 14 March (after school)
• Where: Cannington
• Who: Young people who live in Cannington or surrounding areas
• Cost: Free – registration required

Facilitated by Australian mural artist and Art Therapist Olivia Robinson, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Explore mural design and street art techniques
• Develop creative and practical art skills
• Take part in mentoring and conversations around mental health and positive community impact
• Collaborate to design and paint a new community mural in a public space

This initiative forms part of the City’s commitment to building safe, connected and engaged neighbourhoods and is proudly supported by the Department of Justice.

To register or learn more, email safecommunities@canning.wa.gov.au.
Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
