🎨 CALLING ALL CREATORS – LET’S FILL MTUNZINI WITH CHARACTER! 🌿

In the lead-up to this year’s Art In The Shade, the Rotary Club of Mtunzini is inviting YOU to be part of something truly special…
We’re bringing the village to life with our very own “Shady Folk” – life-sized figures made from old clothes, straw, recycled materials, and a whole lot of imagination!
👕🌾 Think:
“Life in Mtunzini”
• Fishing, paddling, beach days
• Golf, tennis, running trails
• Birdwatching, gardening
• Coffee dates, markets, village life

A fisherman on the corner…
A runner mid-stride…
A family having a picnic…
A surfer, a gardener, a golfer… or something completely wild and wonderful!
These creations will be displayed around Mtunzini in the weeks leading up to the festival, and then showcased at Art In The Shade at the end of August.
✨ How to get involved:
• Create your own “Shady Folk” figure using recycled or repurposed materials
• Get creative with poses, personalities, and props
• Place them in your garden, outside your business, or in agreed public spaces
🏆 There may even be a prize for the most creative, eye-catching, or entertaining figure!
This is all about community, creativity, and having fun together – just like when we painted the bins a couple of years ago.
Let’s make Mtunzini come alive with stories, laughter, and art in every corner 💛
