🖌️ PAID Community Mural Training Programme 🎨

Breaking into murals and public art can feel tricky- you need experience to get commissions, but you can’t get experience without being given a chance. That’s why we’re launching Mural LAB!

This is a paid training programme for early-career artists who want to explore public art, murals, and community-based creative work. No prior mural experience needed. We are especially looking for Global Majority artists!

You’ll get hands-on learning, mentorship, and real commissioned work: create a small mural, support two larger murals in East Leeds, and pick up practical skills in community-engaged public art, all while receiving a £1,100 bursary plus £100 to start building your mural kit.

Applications are open now, link in the bio for more details and to apply!

DEADLINE : 10/12/2025 (12pm GMT)

We're happy to report that Project SWISH is complete ✅🙌🏾

Swipe to see our first community consultation event 1 year ago! Since then, we have worked with over a 100 young people in Mixenden to create a truly community led mural that will be enjoyed for years to come 🥳 Spaces of play and colour are so important in our local neighborhoods and we are truly honored that we have been able to be a part of that journey in Mixenden!

It's only been a week since we started installing project SWISH, but we've covered some serious ground and seen at least 4 seasons since! ☀️☂️🔥🌧️ 🌬️

This is Day 2 with the WBH team prepping the blue outlines & base coat before we were joined by Newground Youth Group later that afternoon 🖌️

For the last few weeks we have been running Armley Art Club every Sunday and already the creativity we have been able to encourage has been so inspiring!

Armley Art Club and the young people were asked to make some DIY banners for the Armley Festival and so far they have been a great hit 🙌🏾

We will also be hosting an Armley Art Club Tent at the festival with some exciting creative activities organised and run by the kids (with some help from us as their minions)

It's so exciting to create something that from day one is Theirs. Community ownership within local spaces is so important and has always been something that we are deeply passionate about.

Also they make our Sundays so much brighter with their imaginations and hilarious storytelling, it's already been the highlight of our month 😁

Stay tuned for more from Armley Art Club and a huge thanks to Fran from for making this initiative possible 🎊
