Newtown Brick Project

Newtown, Bristol, has been described by locals as “not deprived but neglected”, so Newtown Brick Project created a positive voice and narrative for the community. Working collaboratively and building on the legacy of artistic interventions led by Trinity Community Arts, Brick Project co-designed this proposal to develop a mural consisting of literally thousands of individual paintings on a brick wall on the estate. With a paid freelance team of local people from Newtown we assisted members of the community to amplify their voices in an inclusive and accessible artwork that they were in charge of.
