Street people artists from around the world

David Bell from Trinity-at-Waiake Methodist Church

The Merge Cafe in K Rd has an exhibition of art from these places, but also a fantastic new mural showing the connection of the Mangere Community gardening project to the spirituality of our Tamaki Makaurau.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
