Dazzling dolphins make a 'big splash'..



 A little far from the Swan River a pod of thirty-six vibrantly colourful dolphins have dropped into the city to raise awareness of child and adolescent mental health. The Big Splash, a collaboration between Perth Children's Hospital Foundation and Wild in Art highlights three clear messages.. 
'You are not alone.. 
It's ok to talk about your feelings and concerns and
Real help is available' 
The incroyable three dimensional artwork on the dolphin Connections here in Forrest Place is by Paul Drok and the Sea Star Signers. I followed the trail and found a few more dazzling dolphins, show you over the next few days. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..

  7. These are fine looking dolphin. Love the idea of local artists being able to display their talents on a model of a locally important animal model. Chicago did cows, and Palm Beach did alligators.

  15. I haven't seen a painted dolphin before, it is very nice done and for a good cause. I have seen that with elephants and our Miffy.

  16. I love this idea. It's not only for a good cause but, you get some incredible artwork on top of the good work. It reminds me of when I was working in Chicago and they did a similar project with cows!
