It's only taken three days for an empty 350 square metre wall around the back of Liquor King, Paeroa to be transformed from a blank canvas into a local masterpiece - with the ideas coming from kids.
Eleven-year-old Charli Gage-Emery says it was a collective brainstorming effort where the children sat on the hill opposite the wall and envisaged their ideas.
"We had this elective art thing at school and we went down to the care house and we did all sorts of pictures and they're all stuck together and it became basically our pepeha," Charli Gage-Emery says.
The mural tells the story of Hauraki past, present and future - the issues and stories that are important for the children and the community.
The children's ideas were brought to life by Max Levi-Frieder, an artist based in New York who travels the world with Artolution - an international organisation that helps communities create public artwork.
