“The support of Palmerston North City Council has helped to foster

• ne of the best arts cultures I have experienced, with less

competition between commercial painters and more collaboration and skill sharing. The desire to involve the wider community makes these painters and their skills understandable and even desirable, promoting frequent mural commissions and establishing a market for wall art.”
