Another permanent artwork has been added to the Katikati Open Air Arts (KOAA) collection.
The 2022 New Zealand Mural Contest images have become permanent artwork number 87 and the nine images can be found on the west wall of St Peter’s Anglican Church, facing Carisbrooke St.
The contest involved nine artists who were allocated a Katikati “unsung hero” of the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown to portray.
Before the original portraits were presented to their subjects last year, the KOAA took high-resolution photographs of each portrait to reproduce on vinyl, frame and mount on boards.
The images are on the west wall of the church.
