New Street Art Mural at Haigh Avenue, Nowra

Internationally renowned street artists Scott Nagy and Krimsone are set to paint an eye-catching mural on the external building wall of Ray White Nowra’s office at 11 Haigh Avenue.

The artists will begin work on Tuesday 28 June and weather depending, will complete the mural approximately two weeks later. Visitors are invited to watch the artists at work from 10:30am – 12:30pm on Thursday 7 July at a public viewing event. The event will include a sausage sizzle and visitors will be able to chat to the artists and gain insight into how a street mural is created.

The mural, titled ‘Dreamboat’, will creatively explore the interaction between humans and the surrounding natural environment and will include a nod to well-known local landscapes and wildlife. It is an exciting addition to the Nowra CBD Mural Trail, an initiative of the Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy Committee that was developed in collaboration with Shoalhaven City Council, the Shoalhaven Historical Society and local landowners. The murals are funded by the Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy Committee and have helped to add vibrance, start conversations and encourage visitors to explore the Nowra CBD.
