Find out more information about PHAZE, our urban art painting program that’s legal and free for young people ages 12 to 25.
About PHAZE
In 2007, two young people approached the City of Melville with a petition of 250 signatures to start a legal painting wall in Leeming. After consideration an alternative was proposed that would give young people the opportunity to paint Leeming Skate Park once a month. This was the beginning of PHAZE which has now been running for over 15 years and is still going strong today.
For young people aged 12 to 25, PHAZE provides a safe, engaging, and fun place to get creative with other like-minded painters. The sessions take place on the last Sunday of each month, for 8 months of the year and alternate between:
- Melville skate park
- John Creaney skate park
- Leeming skate park
- Hometown Melville wall located in Myaree (behind JB Hi-Fi)
A professional urban artist and assisting artist facilitate the sessions and support young people to create their own artwork using aerosol paints and brushes. PHAZE is free with lunch, paints and all other materials provided. All painters need to bring hats, water, designs if they have them and a positive attitude.
PHAZE is a freestyle, open painting session so participants don’t have to work to a brief or theme. The PHAZE artists are there to support anyone who might be new to aerosols or want to try out some new techniques.
