Watch and admire the creative energy of nine mural artists as they set to work to transform Pennyweight Walk in the heart of the city centre with a new vibrant open-air gallery from May 16-24.
The City of Greater Bendigo's A Week in the Lane initiative will see a variety of selected local and street artists paint new murals live on site, only using brushes and/or rollers.
The nine artists were selected following an expression of interest in March for local mural and street artists to deliver new vibrant pieces of public art based on their individual theme choice.
Bendigo Venues & Events Manager Julie Amos said this was an exciting creative project for the city centre.
"The chosen artists were selected for their passion for colour, place and storytelling, and individual themes," Ms Amos said.
"This is a wonderful celebration of Greater Bendigo's creative spirit as they transform the laneway with fresh colour and vibrancy.
"The nine new murals will be unveiled as part of A Week in the Lane between May 16-24.
"Community members are encouraged to drop in throughout the week to see the works in progress, meet the artists, and experience the laneway's evolving transformation. It's a great reason for residents and visitors to explore the city centre and appreciate the new murals."
The refreshed Pennyweight Walk will be celebrated at a launch on Sunday May 24, 2026 at 2pm. All are welcome.
Artists involved: Frankie O, Kim Lowe, Louise Davis, Wes Franklin, Tomi McManus, Kate Smith, Alicia Huddy, Maxine Thomson and Narsha Kang.
