Leicester Arts and Museums Graffiti Project



Leicester Arts and Museums Service, in partnership with our mates at Pedestrian and added project management goodness at Bulb, recently ran a graffiti project in Coleman Neighbourhood Centre with a group of young people from the local community. It turned out really well, with loads of positive comments coming from the local residents, the young people involved and the Service themselves. The young people directed the project, deciding on the artwork themes and placement and spraying the final piece. The only complaint was everyone wished they could've done the other side of the walls as well! So a wicked success all round. Check our Flickr set for the full artwork.

One Leicester


There was a wicked campaign run recently called One Leicester, and the posters appeared all over town. It was regular people saying what they loved about Leicester and how they felt connected to the City. Check out our Flickr set for more photos and locations around Leicester city centre.

Looking up in Leicester





Leicester is an amazing place, as even though the town centre has been populated by modern shops and offices there has been a real effort to keep the traditional architecture. However, not many people look up when they walk around town, and it's easy to miss the beautiful mosaics and stained glass windows that look down on the streets. Check out our Flickr stream for all the photos, and check them out in real life in Leciester city centre.
