We have just been involved in running some street art workshops alongside a new government-funded initiative ‘One to One’ to help children gain more confidence and understanding in English and mathematics. Our workshops were used as a magnet and a reward activity and were very successful!

We have just finished doing another huge public mural in partnership with Community Space Challenge, Southwark. This time we transformed a dull concrete wall in the middle of the Four Squares Estate, Bermonsey with the help from the local kids over the school

After consultation with the whole community the idea of respresenting the area of Bermonsey historically and culturally with images from the past and present in the form of photos was agreed. The mural has been another huge success with an overwhelmingly positive response from the local residents.

We have just returned from another trip to Germany to work for the Army Welfare Services on the Hohne Garrison. Over two days we transformed the Hohne Youth Centre with 3 big inside murals. The results were amazing and the kids had a great time!

Positive Arts have joined forces with Community Space Challenge (Southwark YIP) once again to create a second mural for Bethwin Road Adventure Playground. This time we painted the whole of the outside wall with the help of the local young people.

“The y/p’s boundless energy and keeness to, participate was inspiring. Almost all of the many numbers of y/p using the playground had some input and we consistently had high numbers involved every session. They all wanted to have a their part in something which gave them ownership of their playground and would be present for many years to come”

A group of pupils have bee working on a portfolio of work to get their Entry Level Certificate in Art and Design. It has been a great success and due to the amazingly high standard of the work they all passed with flying colours. Heres some of the work from a display at the School.

We have just finished a 10-week Street Art programme with a group of students from Kingswood Pupil Referral Unit, Bromley, kent. This was funded by Bromly Mytime and the work will be exhibited in The local Civic Centre. The students worked in small groups to produce large canvases based on personal and social issues of their choice. Here is a couple of examples

We have just got back from a series of workshops for the the Army Welfare Services (AWS)  in Germany. We worked with groups of y/p between the ages of 8-16 in Gutersloh, Munster and Herford Youth Centres based on the army barracks. The workshops were very sucessful and some great artwork was produced for display in the centres. Please see pics!

For the second time running we have been working with Affinity Sutton Housing Association to engage local kids from the estate to produce some positive street art boards for display on the hoardings of the redevelopment site!Here are some pics of the boards up. Please look in Broomleigh section of gallery for more images.

Over the summer holidays we have been working on a huge outside mural at Castlecombe Youth Centre, Mottingham. It was funded by the Bromley summer University and involved the local kids and youth club members. The design was based on comic book style imagery showing all the positive activities young people do at the centre.

We have been working with Community Space Challenge (Southwark YIP) again on another fantastic mural. This time we created a rainforest/jungle scene on a section of the inside walls. The project was a great success!
