The Croydon Mural Project & The Arts-Quarter , by 11 on Jun 30, 2015 17:23:04 GMT 1, I've popped a few pics up in the London Street Art Thread but thought this would merit its own thread due to what seems to be an ongoing programme and introduction of urban art into the community.
I don't know if anyone here is associated with Rise Gallery but it looks like they have worked hard to develop a programme and then gain agreement from local communities, authorities and businesses to introduce and manage this initiative going forwards. The programme operates on a number of levels and not only is it intended to refresh a previously neglected area of the town it is there to inspire and engage the local community through the arts, both in St. Georges Walk (the Arts Quarter) and other areas within the town
They have a policy to refresh the major murals every 3 months and is open to everyone to apply to be able to paint there - the gallery manages all submissions, approvals and scheduling and as a community project seems to be superbly co-ordinated
As well as the Mural sites that do require pre-approval, there is also a 'Legal-Wall' that can be painted by anyone without any prior permission - as long as it is during daylight hours and subject to a few other reasonable guidelines
Dan Kitchener has previously mentioned his mural there and there are a few others such as Artista and MrCenz that have pieces up at the moment
Here are the rules for the Arts Quarter & Legal-wall....just in case you're passing and have a can or two in the man-bag 
Croydon Arts Quarter jun15 by 11 for UAA, on Flickr
=====
From Rise Gallery :
The arts quarter comprises of over 100 murals which are spread over the following three streets in Central Croydon. St Georges walk, Park Street and Katherine Street. These murals will be changed every three months to keep the area interesting and vibrant.
the arts quarter follows an open submission policy and is open to all forms of visual art including installations of all kinds and sculpture.
The murals are nearly all exterior some are shop shutters, some are on brick or rendered walls, some are on wooden holdings.
Some of these murals are relatively small, some are very big and require cherry pickers to achieve the height of the murals if you have any problems with heights please let us know in your submission as we can allocate you any mural from the portfolio.
If you have an idea for interior installations or artwork please do speak to us we are always open to new and exciting ideas. We would ask you to present a full proposal of the idea and how it can be achieved.
Submissions are open to all and special preference is given to artists or artistic groups from our local area.
The Arts Quarter is a special place and is here to be enjoyed by all. To make sure this place can be continued to be enjoyed by all we must make sure we are respectful of the local businesses and community who operate, work and live within it. We want to make sure this area is kept clean and safe at all times. We have outlined a few simple rules below that must be adhered to at all times.

The Croydon Mural Project & The Arts-Quarter , by Rise Gallery on Jun 30, 2015 18:34:36 GMT 1, Hi thanks for setting up this thread! Yeah I've been working on getting this set up for last 18 months. Took ages to get permissions from the council, landowners and Buisness tenants but it's getting there and welcome to all now.
Anyone can apply for a spot! It's really lifted up the area and the gallery opened last year in October

Feel free to ask any questions, thanks

Rise Gallery - can i assume that by responding to the RSVP I am on the list as I haven't had a confirmation?

The Croydon Mural Project & The Arts-Quarter , by cr0streetart on Nov 9, 2015 12:23:22 GMT 1,   Part of Dotmasters "Toy Town" series started a few years ago for Nuart in Stavanger the two huge 3 metre high murals represent the start of Rise Gallery UK and Atollo Arts Croydon Mural Project and a wide initiative to bring art into the community. We have been following and talking to the many artists that come to paint and explore the Arts Quarters along St. Georges Walk Croydon.

The Croydon Mural Project & The Arts-Quarter , by 11 on Nov 9, 2015 16:22:13 GMT 1, Im just wondering whether this should be folded into the Croydon Arts Quarter thread or should stand alone -
Is Dotmasters going to have an ongoing involvement, I think if there is going to be an ongoing project then it can stand alone but if it was a one-off visit and there isn't an ongoing Dotmasters specific project we should merge it
cr0streetart what's your view as the creator of the thread

Rise Gallery & Rise Gallery seem to be the outfit making most of it happen (from an art perspective)

The Arts Quarter just had a fantastic week with Mr Cenz, Rich Simmons, Tizer, Juse One & Bronk all paining. Meeting Tizer and Mr Cenz were particular highlights, both starting in the 80's when graffiti arrived in the UK in the shape of the graffiti writers bible; Subway Art by Martha Cooper. They had so many stories to tell and have travelled the world, legends and so candid.

Apparently the graffiti writers weren't following these rules and the outcome was inevitable. Second time lucky?

The arts Quarter along St. Georges Walk is still alive and kicking! It's just the Legal Wall that was on the East End of the promenade that is on hiatus. Rise Gallery are currently looking for a alternative home.
You can still submit your idea here.
Kind regards
