Co-Designed Murals *

* Weston Wallz working with mural artist Kid Crayon will create a co-designed mural with young people who are under the supervision of the North Somerset Youth Justice and Prevention Service, it has been funded by Super Culture and Arts Council England. Kid Crayon will undertake practical and design workshops with a group of young people aged between 12 and 18yo, who'll then go on to support Kid Crayon as the mural is painted onto a prominent wall by Locking Road Car park. The mural will be designed to go a small way to giving the young people a voice through Kid Crayons signature caricature style
