Night market used to launch Porirua’s latest mural by local artists by Ruth Robertson-Taylor

Porirua’s new mural stole the show during the official opening at yesterday’s night market in Porirua’s CBD.

This month’s Porirua Night Market was all about the new mural and celebrating it as a city.

Porirua artists Chloe Reweti and Ruth Robertson-Taylor used some of Porirua most iconic places and people in the artwork.

Large-scale mural takes shape in Porirua's CBD, showing city's landscape and memories by Ruth Robertson-Taylor

The elements have not been kind to two artists working on a mural in Porirua's CBD, but their frustrations have been tempered by brilliant community feedback.

The massive $11,000 mural, on the side of the building next to where the i-Site used to be, should be completed in the coming weeks.

That's dependent on this summer's fickle weather, with frequent wind and rain putting a halt to the work of Chloe Reweti and Ruth Robertson-Taylor.
