Wellingtonians got together to celebrate Art in the Park recently when artists revitalised the historic Flagstaff Hill and Terrace Gardens. As part of the celebrations supported by Wellington City Council a community picnic was held and two innovative new artworks were installed on the walls of Flagstaff Hill by mosaic artist Rachel Silver and French Street Artist, Olivier Kenneybrew. The artworks, which were the result of collaboration between the artists and the local community,
aimed to enliven the space with bold colours. Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said “A big thank you to the community who advocated for the city to purchase Flagstaff Hill over a number of years and for working with the Council on the redesign of the Terrace Gardens”. Park goers wandered down to the Terrace Gardens Park on Saturday, March 12 where they watched the artists in action. They were then treated to live performances by local musicians.
