Bloomfield mural unveiled
ARTISTS and organisers welcomed Bloom-field locals to the unveiling of the long-awaited Bloomfield Flora and Fauna mural project recently after over two years of work.
The mural was a project headed by the Bloomfield Art Club which began in 2021 and included a host of different artists who helped bring the piece together.
The upper primary class of Bloomfield River State School also had a hand in the making of the mural.
Project leader and teacher Lainie Franzi welcomed everyone to the unveiling of the mural and thanked everyone who helped design, shape and install the project.
“Firstly, I would like to thank all the artists, young and old, new and experienced, local and from further afield, who designed, sculpted, add-ed to, perfected, decorated and/or glazed a tile.
“For we did not create individual tiles, one person might have constructed it, another added to it, yet another coloured it and there are lots of people who did all of this creative work for several tiles.”
Ms Franzi also expressed her thanks to Cook Shire Council, Cooktown Hardware Community Chest and Endeavour Christian College for their assistance over the duration of the project.
