Hume youth services hosted a street art winter school holiday program allowing young people to showcase their creative flair.
Broadmeadows youths aged from 12-18 took part in the workshop at Youth Central to gain basic skills and understanding of street art lettering designs, colour schemes and backgrounds.
Participants collaborated with each other by implementing different ideas into the pieces which they then had the option to either take their work home or display at Youth Central.
Hume mayor Naim Kurt said the street art program benefit the youths in the community.
“Hume is committed to improving young people’s lives through a range of programs across our youth services, including the street art program,” he said.
“The street art program, which has delivered an amazing mural at the Craigieburn Youth Central, builds upon the council’s successful mural program that encourages creative expression from young people.
“We know that through encouraging artistic expression, we can reduce stress and develop skills amongst our youth.”
