ARTISTS from around Australia have been asked to create artworks and murals as part of a Mornington Peninsula Shire anti-graffiti project.
To be created by qualified visual artists or art collectives, the chosen artworks will tell “meaningful stories” about the peninsula on the one hand and act as a deterrent to graffiti vandals on the other. They will be displayed at two sites in Rosebud which are known as graffiti hotspots.
The strategy has worked at locations previously defaced by vandals, with “little or no” graffiti since the “official” murals were painted.
