Perfect Match

Council plays Cupid again!

Perfect Match is a unique initiative tackling unwanted graffiti through fostering legitimate creative expression and art in public spaces.

The Perfect Match approach brings artists, residents, businesses, property owners and community together to collaboratively create fantastic new street artworks in public places.

Property owners are invited to find their Perfect Match by nominating their wall to be transformed by an artist. Artists submit their designs and ideas.

Council then plays Cupid!

Perfect Match 2020

Our Perfect Match 2020 program kicked off with a stunning new artwork at the River Canoe Club titled Rivers Flow. The work is a collaboration between artists Zachary Bennett-Brook, a contemporary Indigenous artist born and raised in Dharawal Country (Wollongong), and Kim Siew, a local female street artist and designer.

The 100th Perfect Match artwork was recently completed at 185 Church Street, Camperdown. Women's Empowerment by one of Australia's most celebrated artists Wendy Sharpe explores this topic in a powerful yet poetic artwork. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the work on a personal level, free to interpret its bold, dramatic and distinct elements as they wish.
