RESEARCH has indicated that community arts projects such as murals encourage cohesion within a community. June McEwan has been working with communities for several years, helping them create art in public spaces. She has a remarkable ability to inspire the community into expressing their own ideas and views of how the mural should look, and then to to translate those ideas˜with the help of local residents,
Community murals enhance community spirit,
encourage teamwork, and bring together members of the community in an
exciting and creative way.
June usually organises brainstorming workshops in local
schools or neighbourhood centres from which stem the main ideas for the
mural. She then develops these ideas and often enlists help from the
community itself. The result is always an attractive and valued addition
to the area‘s everyday life.
