Celebrating Women, Creativity & Community through Public Art.
 

Paint the Town FEMME is now complete — and what a vibrant transformation it’s been. 

This bold arts initiative brought the talents of incredible artists into the spotlight, delivering a series of striking new murals and outdoor panels that celebrate female creativity while enhancing some of Kiama’s most visited public spaces. 

From bold brushstrokes to powerful storytelling, each artwork is a proud expression of community, culture and place.
