EPHEMERAL ART IN EAST LONDON 2011-2016
| The Shoreditch Art Wall project was available to artists and charities from 2011 to 2018. Funded by advertising, that included BAFTA, the Imperial War Museum and Vogue Magazine, SAW's art and charity murals featured some of the worlds best street artists. They came for across the globe to paint even though sometimes their murals were over-painted after just 7 days. Artisans mounted furniture to the wall and romantics hung out their hearts with surprise marriage proposals. Our Murals4Mankind charities featured The Prince's Trust 'Youth at Risk' painted as did muralists for Lord Michael Bates 2012 Olympics 'Walk for Truce." Paralympian Baroness Grey-Thompson unveiled a very personal "Access All Areas' mural and others featured This is Not a Trophy anti-big game hunting and Peter Gabriel's 'Witness' program and UNICEF. The wall was on Peter (the Pleater) Selvey's building, and the project ended when the American and Chinese developers and financiers, CAIN HOY and YANKE, exercised Eminent Domain to take over the location mid exhibit.. |
