Upfest, Europe’s largest street art festival, and Brighter Places, the largest housing association based in Bristol with 3,300 homes, have teamed up. Together, they are looking to bring a new and unique mural to St Pauls and St Agnes for Brighter Places’ new development of 31 affordable apartments on Lower Ashley Road later this year.
And they're asking for you to contribute - locals are being invited to collaborate on the piece to truly make it a staple of the community. The artwork, commissioned by Brighter Places and construction partner, Prelon Housing, will be painted on the side of a new housing development on the site of a former petrol station.
This means it will be visible to anyone entering St Pauls and St Agnes from Baptist Mills and the M32 interchange. They say the new mural will create a vibrant welcome to the area and integrate the new homes into an already lively community.
