It’s finished! Award-winning artist Joel Fergie, aka The Zookeeper, put the finishing touches to his massive Kingaroy CBD mural on Easter Monday.<\/p>\n

The artwork stretches the length of the Hector Munro laneway between Kingaroy Street and the Council carpark behind the banks.<\/p>\n

It was organised by local resident Cr Kirstie Schumacher and funded by Stanwell’s Tarong Community Partnership Fund after the owners of the building, Alwyn and Dianne Reid, generously gave their permission.<\/p>\n

Joel has worked a ton of local iconography into the work, from flora and fauna to sporting caps and even a jar of peanut paste!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tingoora artist Robyn Dower worked alongside Joel on parts of the project.<\/p>\n

While in Kingaroy, Joel also led a South Burnett CTC mural workshop for eight young artists at the Kingaroy Youth Park which created another great artwork for the town.<\/p>\n

Not-for-profit group South Burnett Arts Inc auspiced these two projects.<\/p>\n
