Expressions of Interest

An opportunity exists for a small number of students to work with talented artist, Jimmi Buscombe, known for his ‘Warrnambool Wombat’. Jimmi, along with the students, will create a 3D chalk mural on concrete in Pynsent Street, Horsham, that locals and shoppers can enjoy as they walk by.

This unique opportunity is open to any student/s who are genuinely interested in art, design, graphics, or those who are just generally creative. The workshop will be fun, fully engaging and students will receive a booklet for developing their own 3D art.  It will be held Wednesday 22nd November 2023 – 11.30am – 1.30pm and is limited to 12 places.

Email: Cindy.Francis@hrcc.vic.gov.au or Jacinda.O’Sullivan@hrcc.vic.gov.au by the 8th November to secure a spot.
