Moosey Art 'Art in my Mouth exhibition

Get Walls!!

Walls wanted!
Get Walls is a collaborative art project between www.shhhh.co.uk and Moosey Art, our idea is simple: Get walls to paint on. Our aim is to gain approved permission to paint on residential and commercial properties in Norwich, working with local and guest artists in order to decorate and brighten up the city. When a lot of people think of street art, or graffiti, they think of a rubbish tag by a hooded vandal, on the side of a bridge only visible from a train. This is not what Get Walls is about.

We wish to (legally) liven up the city and contribute to its culture, while also giving artists the opportunity to showcase their art to a wider audience (and hopefully inspire others). We also believe that a city with a lot of public art acts as a tourist attraction and generates fresh interest and publicity. Examples can be seen on the continent in Berlin and Amsterdam, and even Britain with cities such as Brighton and Bristol boasting reputations as having bright, vibrant and youthful art scenes, with lots of prominent, visible and legal street art. Even in Norwich recently the ‘Gorillas’, whether you liked them or not, generated tourist interest. If something is encouraging creative pursuits, and enabling artists to showcase them, it is very special indeed.

If you’re interested in having your walls painted please contact Frazer Bailey at [email protected] or search 'Get Walls' on various social mediums or look here.
