Over 100 people from the Warrnambool Special Developmental School, Vantage, Southern Way Direct Care Services, Karingal and Warrnambool East Primary School teamed up to create the 6m mural situated on Lava St near the intersection with Liebig St in the heart of the Warrnambool CBD.
The mosaic took eight months to complete, with the finished piece unveiled in November 2011.
The composition reflects the artists’ experiences of Warrnambool and the region and includes a depiction of the Silver Ball with the ladder that has since been removed.
Piece by Piece was managed by Renee Broders, who volunteered hundreds of hours on the self initiated project. It is a great example of a community member seeing a need and filling it.
