Celebrating 10 Years of Empowerment: Mable’s Community Mural in Sydney
Project Overview
In celebration of their 10-year anniversary, Mable, a pioneering platform that connects Australians seeking disability and aged care support to independent workers, wanted a mural that embodied their core values of choice, flexibility, and community empowerment. This project aimed to turn a simple office wall into a visual celebration of the platform’s journey, encapsulating the spirit of independence and care that defines Mable’s mission. To do so, Mable engaged their community in a competition to create a unique design that would then be turned into a mural at their Rockdale office. The result? A stunning piece of art that speaks to the heart of Mable’s legacy.
Client Brief: Commemorating a Milestone through Art
Meg Green, representing Mable, approached Book An Artist with a unique concept: to commemorate Mable’s decade-long success by bringing the creativity of their community to life. Mable launched a competition, encouraging their members to submit artwork that best captured the organization’s journey and values. The winning design would be transformed into a large-scale mural, prominently displayed in their Sydney office. The challenge was not only to create a stunning mural but to faithfully translate the vision of an artist within the community—an endeavor that reflected Mable’s emphasis on personal choice and collaboration.
Execution: Transforming a Community Vision into a Masterpiece
The winning design, chosen by Mable’s team, was handed over to mural artist Jamie, who faced the task of faithfully recreating the small-scale concept on a grand mural. Jamie’s attention to detail and artistic skill ensured that the community artist’s vision was beautifully realized. From start to finish, Jamie maintained excellent communication with Mable, carefully interpreting the design while adding his own flair to elevate it further. The mural, which now decorates Mable’s Rockdale office, has become a beacon of the platform’s values, brought to life with vibrant colors and meaningful symbols reflecting the community’s contribution to Mable’s 10-year journey.
Client Feedback: A Mural that Exceeded Expectations
Meg Green expressed nothing but praise for Jamie’s work on the mural. She noted how smoothly the process unfolded, especially considering the technical challenges of converting a competition-winning artwork into a full-scale mural. The final piece, according to Meg, far exceeded the team’s expectations. She appreciated Jamie’s enthusiasm for the project and his willingness to respect the original concept while making the mural even more stunning. The mural now stands as a tribute to Mable’s values, bringing the heart of their community to life through vibrant art.
Type of Art: A Collaborative Community Mural
This mural was unique in its collaborative approach. The project wasn’t just a commission from an artist, but a community mural—where Mable’s members were directly involved in the creative process. By organizing a competition and allowing their network to contribute the design, Mable further emphasized the values they champion: independence, creativity, and collaboration. This project highlighted the importance of community engagement and the role art can play in celebrating and representing an organization’s core mission.
