Artistic cats adorn the cortihaus: a look at the new wall painting

Wilhelmstraße, Wien, Österreich - recently, the facade of the Cortihaus in Meidling shines in new splendor. The artist Ms. Isa designed an impressive Mural with two artistic cats in the courtyard of the homeless shelter. This colorful wall painting looks at Wilhelmstrasse and brings a piece of joie de vivre to the everyday life of the residents of the Vinzirast Cortihaus. MeinDzeirk reports of the special opening that was celebrated with the residents and employees of the supporting company canva.

The Murals shows cats, plants and flowers in earthy tones that flow harmoniously. The two cats, Leopold and Peter, are not only part of painting, but also real residents of the Cortihaus, who offers a permanent home to the people who are in difficult situations. The association "Vinzenzgemeinschaft St. Stephan" is proud that not only accommodation in the Cortihaus, but also support to return to living ability.

support from Canva

It is particularly noteworthy that the project was financially supported by the Australian software company canva. In addition to wall painting, the company also supported the renovation of the wet rooms, which was urgently necessary after 20 years and donated old office furniture. This initiative shows how important the promotion of projects in the social field is to strengthen communities and help people on site.

The cortihaus is one of several facilities operated by Vinzirast and has been offering an emergency sleeping place for many years, which is also open 365 days a year. The emergency sleep center is particularly full in the summer months, which is why volunteers are always sought who want to get involved.

art in public space

art also plays a major role in Vienna. The "Art in Public Space" initiative currently presents various temporary art projects selected by Kör-Jury. These projects address the effects of climate change on our society and are intended to raise awareness of ecological challenges. Kör informed about the current and the permanent art projects in the city.

As part of this initiative, nine new art installations in Floridsdorf were opened, the questions about the future of our planet were raised and invited to act together. Projects like "How do we want to live?" Bring image art and social topics together and invite everyone to actively participate in the discussion. In addition, there are numerous competitions that trigger creative designs in different areas and thus enrich public life in Vienna.

In the combination of social responsibility and artistic expression, it becomes clear how closely the topics of art and community are interwoven. The residents of the Cortihaus not only implement the invitation through the Mural into their daily life, but also actively contribute to the cultural and art scene in Vienna. Art and humanity - a successful interaction!
