Drivers passing through Elgin Avenue will be treated to a colourful new view as the fence in front of the new Government building becomes the island's largest work of art. 

Starting this weekend, the Ministry of Planning, in cooperation with the National Gallery, is going forward with a plan to beautify the all-white protective panels that border the construction site of the Government's new home by inviting local artists to lead mural-painting teams.
