Be Like Banksy

A vibrant art initiative for participants of all ages to express creativity, collaborate on public art, and build confidence through hands-on making.

About This Project

Be Like Banksy is our flagship community art project — born from a simple idea that everyone deserves a chance to make their mark.

Working with local artists and community facilitators, participants learn stencil and spray-paint techniques, collaborate on design, and contribute to a large-scale mural that will live in the heart of Healesville.

The project is open to all skill levels. No artistic experience needed — just a willingness to have a go, meet new people, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
