Street art stands out
THE youngsters who live and holiday at Venus Bay have made their mark on the town’s skate park yet again.
Children and teenagers gathered at the ramp behind the Venus Bay Community Centre last Wednesday and Thursday to create street art for the fifth year.
They were guided in the skill of spray-painting by Venus Bay artist Ben Everett.
Community centre manager Alyson Skinner said, “Every year we paint over it and start again. Some people have been doing it every year during the holiday program.
“It’s a great opportunity to get experience in street art without doing any tagging.”
The community centre also relaunched the Spokes bicycle sharing program. Bruce Jarrett of Tarwin Lower has restored bikes and now there are 100 bicycles available for hire or to buy, suitable for children and adults.
The centre will host a holiday program for the first three weeks of January with various activities and is involved in an open night at the Venus Bay Surf Life Saving Club this Saturday, January 9, for people to find out more about the surf club and Country Fire Authority.
