The Merry Window


Right now I'm gazing out at William St through a delightful scene of thylacines, icecreams, planets, wattle and a T-rex. Why? Because they are part of a charming painted window art display by Simon Sieradzki: our artist collaborator in the City of Perth Windows of the City celebrations!

All over Perth you'll notice art and innovative decorations filling the windows of shops and businesses from today until September 15.

For Ruck Rover, Sieradzki has created simply beautiful paintings on plywood that have the comforting charm of vintage children's book illustrations; with gentle pastel colours and imaginative subjects, his art dabbles in adventure and delight. Maybe you've heard Simon's music (as Airport City Shuffle and under his own name)? It's lo-fi, personal, memorable and charming. And so is his visual art!

Make sure you wander past our William St and Francis St windows to check it out.

Plus you get to be involved! Tell Perth Now if ours is your favourite before September 13 and you can win $5000 to shop with all over the City of Perth. Wee! Plus you help us with a chance of winning most popular display!

The winner will be announced September 15.
