A SPORTS-THEMED mural is planned for Ben Kavanagh Reserve in Mordialloc.
Kingston Arts is looking for an artist to take on the project. A total budget of $17,000 has been allocated for the commission.
Kingston Arts acting cultural producer and partnerships coordinator Victoria O’Shea said “Kingston Arts is thrilled to provide this vital funding opportunity for the arts and is looking forward to supporting the selected artist throughout the development of the work and community engagement.”
The mural will be painted on the proposed rebound wall and next to the cricket nets adjacent to Bear Street.
The Mordialloc Sporting Club, Mordialloc Super Rules Football Club, Mordialloc Junior Football Club, Mordialloc Football Netball Club, Mordialloc Cricket Club, Mordialloc Bowls Club, and Longbeach Petanque group all call Ben Kavanagh Reserve home.
Works are currently being undertaken at the reserve. New netball courts, petanque pistes, and outdoor fitness stations are being constructed.
