Nillumbik Shire Council’s Public Art Collection received a new addition recently when the Queen of the Shire sculpture was installed at the corner of Research-Warrandyte and Kangaroo Ground-Warrandyte Roads, North Warrandyte. Created by local Warrandyte artist, Deborah Halpern, the impressive sculpture stands over four and a half metres tall and embodies the creative, artistic and beautiful spirit of Nillumbik.
To celebrate the installation of the new public artwork, residents are invited to an official launch on Friday 13th February 2015, 6-8pm at the North Warrandyte Family Centre, 184 Research-Warrandyte Road, North Warrandyte. Please RSVP by Wednesday 11th Feb to Grace Longato on 9433 3131 or Grace.Longato@Nillumbik.vic.gov.au
Pictured with artist Deborah Halpern is WCA member Warwick Leeson who was Mayor of Nillumbik Shire Council at the time the work was commissioned as part of a NSC street art project.
