Vine Street Mural Project 2012

This mural project was organized by The Mangere East Police Team in association with The Manukau Beautification Charitable Trust and Sutton Park School. The project was to help the local community around Vine Street take centre stage and regain ownership of their area. We decided on a mural project produced by selected artists from Sutton Park School as a way of bringing the people together, parents, grandparents, children, their cousins and other relatives included. The Shops and Reserve had been neglected over the years and taken over by litter, domestic rubbish and tagging. Once the artists completed painting the mural, we announced a day to unveil their masterpiece and taking the opportunity of this to make it a day for everyone to join heads and tidy the place up, giving the people a 'fresh start' or a new beginning. The day itself was amazing. Thanks to all our sponsors Auckland Council, Mad Butcher, Tip-Top, Rock Up, Mercury Energy and also to the families & friends who helped support & become a part of the event. 

Music: 'Hope' by Fat Freddy's Drop.
