Cabinet Art for Chorus - Frank Gordon
The Chorus Cabinet Art Programme works with communities to reduce graffiti.
In 2014, the DCC and Chorus in conjunction with artists joined forces to transform regularly vandalised cabinets into works of art. The transformation of the cabinets reflect stories about the communities surrounding them.
Following the success of the first round of cabinet art, the DCC and Chorus sought artists for more work to be completed in Caversham, Roslyn, Concord, Brockville, Bradford, Mosgiel, St Clair, Wakari, The Glen and Momona.
Dunedin based artist, Frank Gordon was invited to adorn one of the cabinets and this is the result! This fantastic work of art is in Lynn Street, Wakari and was completed in April this year.
