A new mural inspired by the friendly monsters of the children’s classic “Where The Wild Things Are” is covering the former Guide Hall and Hut at Tarragindi Reserve at 31 Newington Street, Tarragindi – currently being used as artist studios by Jugglers Art Space Inc.
The mural will be launched as part of a free family-friendly community event, involving arts & crafts, a lantern walk, food and entertainment on Saturday 12th September from 3pm.
With the support of Arts Queensland, Jugglers Art Space Inc have commissioned Artist Gimiks Born [www.gimiksborn.com/ International freelance muralist, street artist, illustrator and graphic artist] To cover the walls with Friendly Monsters that will inhabit, enliven and inspire Tarragindi Reserve.
