The street project turning a south Manchester suburb into a gallery

From squiggles and shapes to images of faces and a burglar heart, the shutters of shops along Wilmslow Road, Copson Street and beyond, have turned Withington into an outdoor gallery with more art appearing every month.

The street art from, Withington Walls, that has been bringing colour and pattern to the streets of Withington continues to blossom throughout the suburb and is well worth an early morning trek to the area. There are over 80 pieces of art attributed to Withington Walls in the village, with 52 shops, 21 walls, six cabinets and four lamp posts all decorated by artists for the project.

This week alone has seen more additions throughout the village with a full wall of a house, a shutter and a cabinet being painted. The wall is a part of the #paintforukraine and depicts peace doves by Matt Sewell.
