Stencils take to the street
September 1, 2004
Check out the stencil art at the World Square Retail (WSR) development on the quadrant of George, Liverpool, Goulburn and Pitt Streets in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. The developer, Multiplex, has teamed up with eighteen of the country’s most acclaimed graffiti artists from Citylights Project to paint the 170-metre hoarding surrounding the development. Outside the square will be on display until WSR opens its doors for trading in March next year. Then each panel will then be auctioned with the money raised going to charities supporting homeless youth. Participating artists include Richard Butler-Bowdon, James Dodd, Michael Fikaris, Kieran Mangan and Al Stark, all who have shown at the National Gallery of Australia and most recently at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne.
