Across two weeks in August 2023, we saw 11 amazing new murals installed by local and visiting artists as part of the K-Town Street Art project, the largest number of murals installed at one time in Katherine.
It is wonderful to see such vibrant street art full of rich stories adorning our town, and we must acknowledge the terrific work of Katherine Regional Arts to facilitate this project, in collaboration with Proper Creative artists and Activate Katherine, and with funding by the Northern Territory Government.
