Painting the town pink
Are you an artist with a queer bent? Marrickville Council is searching for visionary talent to produce a large mural celebrating the area’s gay and lesbian community.
The artwork, to be titled Embracing Identity Diversity and Safety, will help promote inclusion and safety for the GLBTI community in the area.
The project is being sponsored by the council’s Gay and Lesbian Liaison at Marrickville (GLL@M) Committee.
Successful applicants will need to submit prototypes or an expression of their ideas by Tuesday September 15.
The winning artist will be chosen by the council’s Public Art Reference Group.

Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.






That artwork is from europe somewhere and is NOT of two men. They actually modified it slightly so that there wouldn’t be that confusing. Quite homphobic on the part of that community.
wow this is really great! Well done!
