NEW LEGAL GRAFFITI WALL – TRENANCE, NEWQUAY

It’s here…

We’re proud to announce that Your Art Connect CIC is now overseeing a Legal Graffiti Wall in Trenance, a space for artists of all ages to create, experiment and be part of something positive in our community.

This wall is about:
✨ Creative freedom
✨ Supporting young artists
✨ Reducing illegal graffiti
✨ Building a street art culture in Newquay

🖌 Want to paint?

To use the wall, you’ll need to book a supervised session with us:

📩 Email - info@yourartconnect.org
📞 Phone - 07866562074
📲 Instagram or Facebook DM

Or check our website for pre-organised spray days, which will be running regularly (weather dependent).

⚠️ Basic Wall Rules
• Respect other artists’ work
• No hate, offensive or explicit content
• Keep the space clean
• Paint legally here — not elsewhere

(A full Code of Conduct will be displayed at the wall.)

💛 Free to use

Sessions are free, but donations are welcome to help us maintain the wall and provide materials for young people.

This is just the beginning.

Let’s turn walls into opportunities. 🎨

We had such an amazing day at Treviglas School working with students on a truly unique creative project .

Blending the raw, expressive style of Jean-Michel Basquiat with the dark intensity of Macbeth, the group created bold banners and stage design pieces for their upcoming performance.

From layered text and striking symbols to chaotic mark-making and powerful imagery, the students really embraced the energy of Basquiat while exploring the themes of ambition, power, and madness within Macbeth.

Seeing their work come to life both in the making process and as part of the final stage production was incredible. The banners didn’t just decorate the space, they became part of the storytelling.

So proud of everyone involved. The creativity, confidence, and collaboration in the room was something special 🖤

It’s with a heavy heart, vulnerability and a lot of faith that I have to send this message.
I need your help.
I need a new engine for my van to complete the tour. Please could you have read of the description of this GoFundMe campaign that Your Art Connect have kindly put together for me.
I really want to finish this tour please can you help me? We are so close. Also buying the tour art will also go towards the target.
Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. It will be SUCH a celebration when we finally get to the exhibition.
Love you all so much
Namaste and god bless
