These include Liverpool Town Hall, St George’s Hall, Cunard Building, George’s Dock building, Sefton Park Palm House, Bootle Town Hall and George's Dock Building.
During the New Year period local cultural organisations Writing on the Wall and Pagoda Arts will also be working with the local community and artists from the CreArt network to develop a new Year of Ox inspired mural in the Chinatown area. More information on the new artistic addition will be revealed in the coming weeks.
