Art and technology have come together in South Western Sydney to give one of our central business districts an attraction that really stands out.

The four colourful and interactive art installations have also made Liverpool’s Street Art Trail even better.

To check it all out head to Northumberland Serviceway where you will be greeted by a maze design inviting you to complete the puzzle by tracing with your fingers.

Just down the road, in Railway Lane, three other murals line the walls inviting passers-by to stop and interact. 

These temporary works will grace the Liverpool CBD until the end of this month.

However, visitors, shoppers, and the whole community can enjoy the city’s permanent street murals year-round via the Street Art Trail. 

 The self guided walking tour has been teamed with a trail map of must-see art, which can be accessed on and downloaded from Liverpool City Council’s website. 

The trail outlines 13 major works and once aficionados find the art by simply scanning the QR code alongside each piece, more information about the artist and creation becomes available. 

On show are works large and small, such as Claire Foxton’s 13-metres-wide by 28-metres-tall portrait of Fijian-born Adi Holmes, who is studying international relations and laws at the University of Wollongong South Western Sydney campus.

Over in the forecourt of Liverpool City Library, Phu Nguyen’s Home painting depicts Liverpool through the image of a nest.

Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller said the growing treasure trove of artworks is another drawcard for the town.

“In addition to being a platform for artists, the works lend a wonderful vibrancy and international flavour to our community,” the mayor said.
