AlburyCBD Mural Art Project – promoting the spirit of Albury

The AlburyCBD Mural Project is part of an AlburyCBD initiative aimed at creating high‑quality, visually engaging public artworks. These artworks encourage positive interaction, photography, and visitation, contributing to place identity and activation within the city.

Artwork is now complete in the Ritz Arcade walkway located at 481-483 Dean Street, an area selected for its high-foot-traffic area in the heart of the AlburyCBD.

The local artist commissioned for the project is Kristina Greenwood, an established and experienced mural artist. “TINY BIG WORLD” is a series of three murals that interactively explore Albury’s native fauna and flora through a miniature lens. Each wall is conceptually connected; however, each also works alone as an individual piece for photographs.

A second mural was completed on the exterior wall of the Volt Lane Carpark, on the Volt Lane side of the building, facing Selle Lane.

Tyson Savanah, also known as Father Marker, is a multidisciplinary artist whose public murals blend design thinking with narrative and place-making, tailoring each project to suit the physical and cultural context of the site.

“RESILIENCE” celebrates the region’s unique ecology, cultural identity and history while paying tribute to bushfire recovery, the Wiradjuri people and threatened local species.
A larger-than-life Tree Goanna (Lace Monitor, Varanus varius) crawls up the wall fused with a River Red Gum, the Tree Goanna, or “Gugaa,” holds both cultural and ecological significance in the Albury region.

As an important Wiradjuri totem, it symbolises strength, resilience, and connection to Country—values central to the intent of this work.

AlburyCBD (through Albury Business Connect) collaboratively developed the project with assistance from Murray Arts and consultation with AlburyCity Council and relevant asset owners to scope possible locations, approvals, and project oversight.

When Albury Central merged with Chamber in 2016, all residual funding was carried into a ‘legacy fund’ account. This fund is to be used for a one-time project that brings long lasting attraction and vibrancy to the CBD.

Following an expression of interest (EOI), we are excited to deliver iconic artworks that reflect and promote the spirit of Albury. With a third location still planned, we can’t wait to share what’s to come.

'AlburyCBD' promotes Albury’s bustling city hub. We showcase the businesses that give our regional community life and the people behind those businesses who make it tick.
