Marrickville High School Mural
The Wall Station worked in collaboration with the CAPA team at Marrickville High School to deliver our third consecutive mural for the school. Local artist Sophi Odling was engaged to create a school mural.
Working to the creative brief: “A bright mural that celebrates 'connection' within the school community, inspired by friendships. To help create a safe space outside the busy library entrance. The mural will not focus on animals as there are already many animal murals around the school” - Sophi was able to deliver a vibrant and engaging artwork.
Year 7 Students were involved in mural painting workshops to help install the mural on school grounds.
In 2020 The Wall Station delivered a mural by Phibs and in 2021 we worked with the school to install a mural by Helen Proctor.
