An underpass in Weymouth has been given an underwater makeover with vibrant new murals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The walkway in Westham by the swannery has been decorated by two artists, alongside young people from youth and children’s group Hope House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The first subway mural has been finished and includes crabs, jellyfish, turtles, seahorses, sharks and a large octopus. Artwork on the second subway is now set to get underway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The murals were funded with a \u00a35,000 community grant awarded to the youth, children’s and community centre by Weymouth Town Council in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The young people helped develop the theme, create the designs and paint the murals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Hope House manager Joe Hobday said: “What has been particularly lovely is seeing how proud they are to have actually played a part in creating something that is now a permanent piece of art in our town. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“They have a real sense of ownership over it, and now that people are seeing it, they are all so excited to be able to say ‘we helped make that’. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“We are really looking forward to getting involved in finalising the second subway too.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
