Murals bring Minjilang recreation hall to life

The walls within the Minjilang Sport and Recreation Hall have come to life with colourful murals inspired and painted by the youth in the community.
Through a collaboration between the Proper Creative team Kaff-eine and Jordon, West Arnhem Regional Council and teachers and students of Mamaruni School, the recreation hall now proudly features incredible paintings which reflect the Minjilang community itself.
Experienced artists Kaff-eine and Jordon were both energetic and eager to work with the young people on the island, and to get the project under way, they ran workshops for the youth to share their ideas of what was to be painted. With their artistic flare, Proper Creative were able to make these ideas into a reality.
West Arnhem Regional Council Acting Council Services Manager Jesse Evans wished to thank those involved in the project, particularly everyone at Mamaruni School who assisted in the coordination.
"We would love to thank all who were involved and hope to see more projects like these in the future," he said. 
"From all of the community we would like to thank again Kaff-eine and Jordan."
Kaff-eine hopes the community enjoys the murals as much as they enjoyed making them. 
"We had a blast with the kids, preparing island characters and painting them together around the rec hall! I love the variety and quality of the finished works, and I love how the students all contributed so much to the murals; the variety of techniques, colours and textures makes this one of my favourite collaborations to date!"
"I feel lucky to be part of such special projects."

West Arnhem Regional Council wishes to thank Prime Minister and Cabinet for the support of the project.
