Two Acre Village is a mural that presents a historical timeline of Cheltenham, taking its title from the name once given to the suburb. It journeys from the area’s bushland and local Indigenous culture through the first shopfronts and buildings, to the stories of iconic residents who shaped the community. Two Acre Village features large abstract shapes and patterns that blend into trails of colour when viewed from passing train windows. Up close, the mural reveals intricate details that reflect Cheltenham’s history.
With a love of street art, local artists James Beattie and Andrew Bourke have capitalised on their passion and are amongst Melbourne's most respected street artists. Both have exhibited both nationally and internationally and have become leaders in the field, often giving back to the community by mentoring young aspiring artists in the installation of their work.
