Art Wall

Dear Rotarians and Friends of the Rotary Club of Caulfield Inc.,

 

The Rotary Club of Caulfield and internationally acclaimed Artist, Anthony Breslin, with the support of the Glen Eira Artists’ Society Inc., want to give a lasting gift to the Murrumbeena Community.  One to inspire children and adults to follow their dreams.

 
There is a 50 meter wall on the cnr of Murrumbeena Road and Railway Parade in Murrumbeena Victoria Australia. It is currently painted black and graffitied extensively. We wish to cover the wall in over 75 panels communicating in original paintings and words the story of ‘Big Frog’.

This is a story from Anthony Breslin's children’s book ‘Brezania’. The story will be on the wall along with a vast array of crazy characters from the book.

 

The impact of the current Corona virus pandemic has included decimating the ability to fund community projects. The Rotary Club has been unable to run its fortnightly sausage sizzles outside Woolworths in Glen Huntly for months and all other usual methods of fundraising have been curtailed.

Accordingly the Rotary Club and GEAS have turned to crowdfunding to help pay the costs of art materials, special anti graffiti paint and scissor lifts etc, for the installation of the mural.
.

It is appreciated that many people are un- or underemployed and still more have had to take huge wage cuts. But if everyone could provide just a little it would really help and there are generous Thank You gifts offered for contributions. Every person who donates will have their name recorded on a special plaque within the mural, irrespective of the size of the donation.


Anthony is undertaking this artwork on a pro bono basis. The mural will help make Murrumbeena a place to visit and lift spirits after these challenging times.


This project is the Rotary Club of Caulfield’s Centennial Gift to Murrumbeena What a way to remember 100 years of Rotary in Australia and provide a positive memory of 2020.
