It's been a while since this project was mentioned so thought i'd stoke the thread as a friend of mine recently did a trip to Gambia and was lucky enough to meet the guy who runs the project, was shown around the village and also stayed there, and was amazed by the works on display.

Like others, I thought that this was a one off project but it is infact an ongoing project and artists are adding to the already stunning pieces out there as we speak.

ROA is due out there again at the end of next month and SHEONE has just completed his pieces this week so I felt it was worth raising it's awareness again as it's such a worthy project with some fantastic art!

Will keep ya'll posted on further updates as they come in! Next year promises to be some amazing new works as artists already approached have agreed to get involved in the project...

Here's a link posted today on SHEONE
