Vauxhall One and Moniker Culture present Art in the Arches, an open call to all artists to bring colour and creativity to Vauxhall’s arches.
Printed or hand painted arches
The project offers paid commissions to transform the appearance of arches in central Vauxhall. We’re looking for digital artworks that will be printed on vinyl, and for artists to hand paint a mural on brickwork using spray paint, bucket paint or acrylic paint.
Vauxhall loves different
The theme for these artworks is ‘Love Different’. Vauxhall is a place where anything goes, where different cultures, races religions and communuities happily co-exist. It’s long been a place where different is normal, where artists are able to express themselves freely. Where it shouldn’t quite work, but it does. We celebrate differences. We love the lively mix of things to do, places to eat and people to talk to. Everyone is welcome. We love different.
