Moorooka ADS artist Greg Arnold with artwork inspired by the Cooktown Orchid.
Moorooka artists paint the town
Artists from Moorooka Adult
Day Service have brightened the
streets of Moorooka with original
artworks as part of Connecting
Brisbane’s Q150 Traffi c Signal Box
(TSB) project.
Connecting Brisbane is a
$2 million co-funded project
between Brisbane City Council
and the Queensland Government
celebrating the 150th anniversary
of Brisbane’s declaration as a
municipality and Queensland’s
separation from New South Wales.
Artists Greg Arnold, Tom
Hamilton, Michelle Ball and Elise
McKenzie from Moorooka Adult
Day Service all joined creative
forces to design and paint
TSB situated on the corner of
Beaudesert Road and Luxworth
Street at Moorooka as part of
Brisbane’s 150 years celebrations.
Susan Wedmaier, Manager of
CPL Moorooka Adult Day Service,
said the main theme of the signal
box designs was the Cooktown
Orchid, which is the fl oral emblem
of Queensland.
“Greg Arnold, one of the artists
involved, has a passionate interest
in gardening and fl owers, so we
decided to use that as a starting
point for our theme,” said Ms
Wedmaier.
“It was amazing collaborating
and coming up with a design, then
going through the whole process
of getting feedback and approval,
painting it and fi nally seeing it
fi nished outside on the TSB,” she
said.
This artwork along with all the
other Q150 TSBs will go in the
draw to win the Q150 TSB Award
at the annual TSB awards night
held in November. All the TSBs
can be viewed at www.brisbane.
