Kalannie Art Trail
The Kalannie CRC is in the process of developing an art trail project, which will bring Kalannie to life through art to be featured on buildings throughout the town. With various art themes from farming, sports, wildlife, history both pioneer and indigenous.
The Kalannie CRC was very fortunate to have artist Brenton See here to paint the outside of our building with a vibrant wall mural. Brenton is a Perth based artist who specialises in painting native Western Australian flora and fauna and has painted many murals across the state.
The wall mural was an initiative that the CRC began working on last year. Going with a concept design of plants and animals known to Kalannie. The red-tailed black cockatoo, wreath leschenaultia, wattle, and an echidna. With a red strip running between each to represent the colour of Kalannie. Along with the added extra of a willy wagtail at the water fountain.

While Brenton was in town, he made a visit to Kalannie Primary School where he spoke to the kids about his art practice, while sharing photos and videos of his work.
This art project was made possible thanks to the Dalwallinu Shire who allowed us to have the Kalannie Hall and CRC building painted, and who also funded the entire project as well.
Art being a feature of Kalannie is something the CRC would like to continue with into the future.
