Public Art Events
Live Mural Painting
As a queer muralist, a survivor, and a female artist, Meg Minkley’s paintbrush serves as a voice for the underdog.
During Pride Month, Meg will be onsite at Hurstville Plaza painting a mural that celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community, incorporating the vibrant colours of the Progressive Pride flag, symbolising inclusivity and the ongoing fight for equality. These colours highlight the themes of Pride Month: love, unity, equality, and diversity.
Where: Hurstville Plaza (296 Forest Rd, Hurstville NSW 2220)
When: Tuesday 18 – Sunday 30 June 2024
Once complete, the mural will be on display until Sunday 21 July 2024.
Live mural painting is dependent on weather and may not take place if conditions are poor. Dates are indicative and subject to change.

Public Art Guidelines for Developers
The Public Art Guidelines for Developers shows developers how to commission an artist, meet industry best practice and get the best value for money from a developer contribution.
These Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the Georges River Council Public Art Policy, which outlines Georges River Council’s vision for creating a built environment that has vibrancy, originality, creativity and sense of local character.
If you have any questions about the Public Art Guidelines for Developers, please email museumgallery@georgesriver.nsw.gov.au.\
