Connect and Create in Ravenswood — Community Murals

Connect and Create in Ravenswood — Community Murals


What

GRCC funded four community-led murals painted by local volunteers, students, people with disability, artists, and community centres in Ravenswood, including a ‘lego wall’ at the central shopping area.

Who

Ravenswood residents, including people with disabilities and those experiencing socio-economic disadvantage.

Where

Ravenswood shopping area, Launceston, Tasmania

When

2022

How It Helped

Murals completed with volunteers using sponsored materials. No graffiti has appeared on any project — highly unusual — reflecting enhanced pride and belonging in the area. ‘It makes me smile’ is a common community response. The project demonstrated that community-led approaches build stronger outcomes than traditional top-down service models.
