A new mural project to brighten-up Ettalong Beach is underway, but funds are needed to see it to completion.
The Facebook group I Love Ettalong Beach approached the Rotary club with the idea in March.
“They loved the idea; the town looks shabby,” a spokesperson said.
Rotary pledged $300 towards commissioning a mural for the graffiti wall in a lane opposite the Post Office.
“We got permission from the owners of the building and engaged artist Deborah Anne Johnson and her assistant Sam to do the work,” the spokesperson said.
“This woman goes into lots of coastal towns, sees empty spaces and transforms them.
“She also creates beautiful tote bags out of the photos.”
The spokesperson said the mural, featuring the flora and fauna of the area, was now underway but the rest of the artist’s fee has yet to be raised.
“I have put posters up around town and I have donations from several businesses but we need more,” she said.
“Lots of Central Coast areas need brightening-up of people’s walls … and inside three hours Deborah has already transformed the wall.
“Now we just need the community behind us to bring her back to complete the wall and a couple of other projects.”
