Paint the Town FEMME
Published on 03 March 2025
Kiama is celebrating the talent and creativity of women artists through Paint the Town Femme, an art project bringing vibrant new works to public spaces across the Municipality.
This initiative showcases the incredible artistic abilities of women while enhancing the visual landscape of Kiama, with striking new murals and panels adding color and character to key locations.
New artworks have been completed—or are in progress—at several sites, including:
- The wall of Kiama Council’s administration building on Morton Lane
- The electricity substation next to Kiama Library and Blue Haven Bonaira
- The beloved Old Fire Station, where artists are refreshing the outdoor gallery panels for the first time in 25 years
The talented women behind these artworks are:
- Claire Foxton
- Mandy Schöne-Salter
- Aunty Jodie Stewart
- Holly Sanders
- Savanah Detheridge
Supported by Kiama Council and the NSW Government, Paint the Town Femme is a lasting tribute to the power of female creativity and the role of public art in storytelling and community expression.
Keep an eye out as these works continue to take shape, and visit these locations to experience the beauty and impact of their work firsthand.
