Children's Week intergenerational art tour

To celebrate creativity at every stage of life, children and adults of all ages are invited to a walking tour of a selection of street art murals created as part of Council’s StreetWORKS program.

Last updated: 1 September 2025

Every year, Children’s Week and the Victorian Seniors Festival occur in the same month.

Learn more about the process of creating a large-scale mural and discuss the creative ideas behind these artworks in an accessible walk around Barkly and Donald Streets, Footscray.

After our tour, we will walk back to Footscray Library together, where participants can discuss their favourite artworks and enjoy a light snack.

Important notes

  • Please bring a water bottle.

  • Wear comfortable shoes, sun protection and pack warmer clothes if needed.

  • If it is raining, this event may be postponed. You will be informed the day prior.
