Message from the Mayor The City of Yarra is proud to support the North Yarra Community Health’s mural project at their Collingwood Centre. North Yarra Community Health plays a vital role in our municipality, providing a vast range of health services that improve the well-being of our community. Through our annual Community Grants Program we are very pleased to have assisted NYCH to achieve their goal of revitalising an iconic site. The City of Yarra is committed to creating and supporting an environment in which arts and cultural activity flourish at all levels of the community. The Arts and Cultural Plan 2005 – 2009 outlines our mission to work with communities, artists, organisations, business and government to achieve community well-being, economic strength and cultural vitality within Yarra by involving local people, investing in local practice and supporting a shared sense of place. This project is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when we work together as a community. Cr Jenny Farrar Mayor City of Yarra 2007 Introduction We have put together this storybook to acknowledge the makers of the art work, to record the stages and phases of the project and to keep a record of the murals’ history. Murals have featured on the Hoddle Street façade of the Collingwood building of North Yarra Community Health since 1993. The eight original panels were created for the 125th anniversary of the then Collingwood Community Health Centre. They lasted for an amazingly long time. However, in about 2005 it became obvious that we could not maintain them any longer – the panels had come to the end of their natural life. The easy option would have been to just remove them, paint the wall a uniform colour and move on, but somehow this did not seem right, particularly for someone like me, who had always worked in the murals’ presence. That wall is something that has been such an icon throughout my childhood, as we’d always look for it when passing along Hoddle Street. Ari Hatzis IN THE FLOW - the making of a community mural
