Working with TD1 Youth Hub to make this possible through funding from Creative Communities Scotland.

Day 1 painting spaces at the with some of Chromonauts and GPS Artists. Just snippets for now as we don't want too many spoilers. The artists worked well to think creatively with the Toilet and Changing Room spaces.
Thanks to everyone who helped us out today and looking forward to getting back to it tomorrow.

It's been nearly a year since the TD1 Chromonauts worked with the Langlee Community to makeover the Tunnel. It was the first time for many artists to work on a big scale with spray paint.
This has since opened up many more conversations and opportunities, giving the artists chance to develop their skills.
Adding some colour to some walls in Galashiels is an exciting project for all of us to take on. We're currently in discussion about some more spaces.....but maybe you can think of somewhere?

At this stage, the application is open to those who would like to come and join us.

-Our Paint Jam will be an opportunity for artists to come and paint together.

-We'd also like to hear from any artists who would be interested in opportunities to come and skill share with the young artists at as part of our TD1 Chromonauts Art Project.

At the heart of this project are the Chromonauts Art Group. We meet every Friday on the First Floor at the Youth Hub with regular sessions at , open to young people aged 10-19. The group is brought together through a love of Art and provides space for young people to express themselves creatively in a safe and supportive environment.
The logo here (possibly one of a few logos) has been designed by one of our young artists currently working here as a Trainee at TD1. Yesterday was our first paint outside of the year and took the first step in visualising the logo as a stencil.

Save the Date!

🌟We've put our heads together and come up with the date for Gala Painted Spaces Paint Jam.

🌟The date is set for Fri 31st July- Sun 2nd August in Galashiels, Scottish Borders. We hoping to secure a space close to .

🌟 What is a Paint Jam? A Paint Jam is an event where space is created for artists of all styles to come and paint together legally. Often the work is created in temporary spaces, such as boards but might include walls that can last a little longer. The buzz is all about creativity, giving artists opportunity to showcase their work and inspiring others.

We will be launching an artist application soon where we're looking forward to any artists who might like to get involved. For now, Save the Date, but if you're really keen, drop a message and say Hi.
