IF you are a Gisborne resident with a penchant for art and a desire to tell local stories, Gisborne District Council wants you.
The council has put out a call for talented artists who would like to fill the community with colour by decorating the town’s Chorus cabinets.
“We’re really
looking to highlight local artists and tell stories about the communities we live in,” said GDC communications adviser Edwina Ashwell. “It’s like an anti-graffitti vibe. Anyone can enter, so long as they are local and they can submit a concept design.”
The idea to decorate the cabinets was suggested by the telecommunications company, which runs the competition throughout New Zealand.
“They approached us so Gisborne District Youth Council decided to promote it,” said Ms Ashwell.
