Community Engagement
At Collective we are aware of the importance of public art and the beneficial role that it has in the well being of the wider community. Public art has the power to uplift and bring communities together. It invites reflection and is an encourages discussion on various social issues.
Mural Projects
Site-Specific Art That Connects People and Places
We specialise in creating bespoke murals that respond to the unique character of each site and community. Every mural is developed in collaboration with local people and organisations. Our participatory projects are facilitated by our artists ensuring that the local community is involved in the process from initial ideas to painting the final design.
Murals do more than enhance walls. They bring colour and identity to public spaces, spark conversations, and support local businesses by increasing footfall and visibility. Whether in schools, parks, or high streets, murals can transform how people experience their environment.
If you would like to discuss how we can work together or have any questions please contact us.

We work closely with key partners and sponsors in the community including:
