Graffiti Art Project Underway in Edinburgh
One of the largest displays of public graffiti in the UK is taking shape in Edinburgh as ambitious art project gets underway.
Featuring more than 60 street and graffiti artists, Edinburgh's New Waverley construction site will soon become home to one of the largest public artworks of its kind in the UK. The ambitious art project is now officially underway. The mission is to combine permanent art with "an ever-changing tableau of graffiti art". After beginning the project on Sunday, the Canongate Plot's first stage at The Arches is inspired by fireworks and Bonfire Night. Spearheaded by Work In Progress Edinburgh (WIPE), a community arts partnership made up of local residents and artists, we can't wait to see how things develop over the coming weeks and months.
