ABORIGINAL seasons and a Perth artist’s designs have inspired a 44m-long mural at Butler College.

The A Block mural project was inspired by artist Mel McVee’s work, and coordinated by ECU scholar in residence Tara Browne over two terms.

Students from the school’s specialist program, academic improvement program and visual art academy helped paint it, along with arts program coordinator Megan Beadle and other staff.

The outdoor mural is based on the Noongar seasons featuring flora and fauna.

The mural was unveiled at the college’s annual ASPIRE Exhibition on December 7, which featured works by visual arts students in Years 7-12

Coinciding with International Women’s Day weekend, this exhibition provides a safe, inclusive and accessible space for an inter-generational and diverse audience.

Gallery 25 presents a sister exhibition WOMXN: Renew including women artists from the ECU Collection.
