The Brent Street Art project is the opportunity for you to develop your creative skills, working with professional Street Artists.
If you are involved or interested in graffiti, tagging or Street Art then this is your chance to put your skills to use and learn from professional Street Artists. You will be working with professionals who make a living from legally using their skills to promote big brands such as Reebok, Xbox and Nike, and host street art events across London.
The project is a series of Street Art workshops, that will all lead towards the Youth Secret Wars event which is like a break-dance battle but with Wall Art. Find out more about Secret Wars here.
There are only 15 places available, so if you want to get involved email us@uscreates.com with all your contact details (name, age, school or organisation, email, telephone number and mailing address) and the reason you want to get involved. There are limited places available so to help you stand out from the crowd try and make your reason for being involved as creative as possible. Why not turn you reason into a piece of Street Art, take a photo, do a drawing, whatever ….
The deadline is Monday 11th February
