Project Title: Athersley Graffiti Art Project

Description: Youth Workers working in Athersley, a district of Barnsley identified a group of young men who were very keen to learn more about Graffiti Art. The group met with a graffiti artist to plan the structure and outcomes of their project. The young men wanted to learn about the history and different styles of graffiti as well as designing their own stencils and creating a final group piece of Graffiti Art.

Outcome: The group each designed, drew, cut and sprayed stencils to create individual work and worked together on one large piece. This final piece went on exhibition at the Cooper Art Gallery in Barnsley town centre.
