Murals depicting New Zealand scenes, flora and fauna and characters from Footrot Flats are ready to go up on Whangaparaoa Hall, facing Coast Plaza and the library.
The four 1.2m x 2.4m panels were designed and created by 14 artists, aged 12–16, who have been working on them since the start of the year.
As well as endangered species such as Maui dolphins and Kakapo, there are images of Wal and Dog from Footrot Flats, Billy T James and the Goodnight Kiwi.
The artists are all students of The Art Lab, based in Whangaparaoa Hall and art teacher Anna Evans says they were designed to beautify the studio and surrounding areas.
It is hoped that they will be installed on the building in the coming weeks.
