We love street art. We work in areas where people don’t have fair access to arts & culture and believe that street art is an amazing way of tearing down barriers to a sometimes intimidating world. We’re buzzing to be working with Reframed Productions, Creative Estuary and Wood Street Walls on Our Towns , an incredible programme bringing together #community #streetart and #basildon Keep your eyes peeled 👀👀 👉🏻 A Basildon Creative People and Places project 👉🏻Artwork by Insa 👉🏻Photography by Doug Gillen 👉🏻 Funded by Arts Council England & Creative Estuary #ourtownsbas #creativepeopleandplaces #thingsmadepublic #CPP #basildonreframed #reframedproductions #basildonart #essex #essexart #streetart #insa

We're half way through Open Lab and we've had almost 2000 local residents through our doors!! Come down and join us whilst you still can people!

*Open Lab is an exciting project from Basildon Creative People and Places that sees 7 vacant shops in Basildon town centre transformed into pop-up pockets of cultural activity for residents to explore. Underpinned by over 650 hours of free events and workshops for the public to enjoy; the final programme line-up was chosen by the community via a series of online polls and decision-making events, ensuring that local people were truly driving the project and choosing the activity THEY wanted to see in the town centre. For the full programme, please visit - https://open-lab.co.uk/
