We're thrilled to announce a vibrant new chapter for Art of Protest! We've undergone a transformation, showcasing a fresh brand, a sleek new website, and a refined focus on the core services that drive our mission: Placemaking, Talent, and Agency.
As always, we remain committed to our ethos: artist-led, community-shaped, and stakeholder-driven. We believe in the power of collaboration, working alongside businesses, creatives, and local authorities to reimagine and revitalise the spaces we inhabit. Together, we're building stronger communities, fostering a sense of belonging, and shaping unique identities.
Our New Look, Our Renewed Vision
Our new visual identity reflects our evolution and our commitment to dynamic, impactful art for everyone. We've streamlined our online presence to make it easier for you to explore our work and connect with our team. But more than just a fresh coat of paint, this relaunch signifies a deeper understanding of our role in shaping the cultural landscape.
Introducing Our Three Core Pillars:
Art of Placemaking: Transforming Spaces, Connecting People
We believe that public spaces should be vibrant hubs of community life. Through our Placemaking initiative, we transform ordinary environments into extraordinary cultural experiences. Whether it's a striking mural on a city wall or a temporary vinyl installation that breathes new life into a neglected corner, we use art to spark connection and foster a sense of belonging.
We carefully select materials and techniques to ensure lasting impact, fusing physical spaces with human connection. We're not just creating art; we're creating destinations that resonate with the heart of the community.

Art of Talent: Empowering Through Education and Learning
We understand the importance of nurturing the next generation of creatives. Our Art of Talent program delivers hands-on, engaging workshops in schools, colleges, universities, festivals, and events. These workshops, driven by creative play, are designed to unlock potential and build confidence.
Whether it's shaping a creative brief for a large-scale mural or providing a standalone educational experience, we empower communities with the tools they need to drive positive change. We're not just teaching skills; we're igniting passions.
...And speaking of exciting developments on the horizon, we've got something truly special brewing that we can't wait to share with you! Get ready to hear more about our Street Art Academy, a groundbreaking talent development initiative that's set to revolutionise how we connect opportunity, community, and creative expression. This isn't just about art; it's about building bridges, fostering inclusion, and empowering individuals to literally make their mark on their neighbourhoods.
Imagine a space where skills development meets peacemaking, where temporary workshops transform into permanent pathways for underrepresented voices. We're partnering with local champions to deliver a dynamic creative learning curriculum, identifying those with raw talent and guiding them on an incredible journey. They'll learn directly from professional artists, gaining hands-on experience in crafting street art murals that resonate with their communities. This isn't just about learning to spray paint; it's about building tangible skills, igniting local pride, and creating pathways for those who might otherwise be overlooked.
We're incredibly passionate about this project, and we know you'll be just as excited as we are when we unveil all the details. Stay tuned – this is going to be big!

Art of Agency: Amplifying Voices, Shaping Futures
We believe that every community has a unique story to tell. Our Art of Agency service empowers communities to find their voice and actively shape their surroundings. We uncover the core of a place through heritage, creativity, and engagement, then translate that understanding into impactful public art strategies.
From vibrant street art trails to playful wayfinding systems, we transform streets into living canvases that reflect the identity of the community. We're not just creating art; we're creating platforms for expression and catalysts for change.
Join Us on Our Journey
We invite you to explore our new website, discover our projects, and connect with our team. Together, we can create a future where art plays a central role in shaping the places we live, work, and play.
We're excited to embark on this new chapter, and we hope you'll join us. Let's create something extraordinary.
