Woolowin Station Art

Wooloowin Rail Station has been transformed with a series of colourful artworks that were unveiled last week by John Mickel Minister for Transport.

The Minister was joined by a group of teachers, students, participants and the artist to unveil the works in a celebration at the station.

This the 40th project is one of the positive pARTnerships projects being rolled out by QR across the Citytrain network.

“We hope also that by placing colourful images at Citytrain stations, it helps reduce the level of graffiti.” Mr Mickel said.

“QR spends more than $2 million a year cleaning up graffiti. It would be nice to think we could spend that money on paint for artworks such as these that adorn the walls of platform one at Wooloowin.”

“This is about the community being proud of its local spaces and looking after them.”
