Join in - Tauranga's largest painting
Tauranga's largest painting in the world began as part of Tauranga City Council's 'Live to Play Month'. 50 metres of canvas, lashings of Resene paint and loads of community spirit came together to create an all inclusive art event that reached out to diverse groups in the community to bring them all together under the umbrella of art.

The ensemble included everyone from babies to nanas, a dog, a goat and a bus load of Taiwanese tourists, not to mention the young ones who stood in the paint tins and then danced down the canvas! The aim of showing that anyone can get involved and have fun being creative was well and truly achieved.

The communal artwork has become quite the traveler since, adorning various parts of town with its colours.
