Waverley Pool Mural Community Competition
We are holding a Mural Design Competition to select a design for the front of the Waverley Community Summer Pools.
Proposed by local Waverley artist, Jenni Corbett and supported by the Pātea Community Board, the mural design competition acknowledges the breadth of talent in the area, especially promising new artists. This competition gives the opportunity for the community to get creative while providing another point of interest in Waverley.
The Council encourages budding artists residing in the Waverley, Whenuakura and Waitōtara areas to enter, either as an individual or a group. The winner/s will also participate in the painting of the mural, supported by Jenni Corbett and South Taranaki Council Arts Coordinator, Michaela Stoneman.
The painting will take place later this year in time for the 2022/23 pool season.
