Hill Road, Bay View, Napier.
Team:
Jil of Aotearoa (Jil Sergeant) and Ruby Moon Dog.
Accessible to public:

Mural theme:
Bay View - past and present.
Background to mural creation:
Six panels make up the Bay View past and present mural - starting
with the vivid Hawkes Bay sun and the hook of Maui, progressing
through to sports, local iconic scenery, Bay View before the '31
earthquake, the Bay View Centre - the point of destination and
distribution and the hub, the pub, men and motors.
The centre of the Bay View Village was once marred by an extensive
and somewhat ugly fence. Rather than struggle to hide the fence
the Bay View Community Charity Trust decided to enhance the village
by making a feature of the fence, introducing the concept of large
scale public community art, thus creating new found pride within
an old village community.
