Paint The

Town Proud

In 2022 we were immensely proud to be a key ideation, development and delivery partner in this highly impactful visual arts partnership project with Creative Start and other partners. Paint the Town Proud has truly triggered a murals revolution in North East Lincolnshire, giving local artists fantastic opportunities, along with inviting those of national renown to the region, to help uplift our place.

Other partners on this ambitious Cultural Development Fund supported project included Hammond House, Nomad Design and Andy Pea and the project saw the creation of a series of impactful, large scale murals inspired by local heritage around Grimsby locations.

Paint the Town Proud went on to win the Mayors ‘Community Impact Award’ at the NEL Civic Awards 2023.

The project also included creative community participation, a documentary and a series of podcasts. We initiated with vision and scope, bringing underpinning structure and deliverability to this ambitious 18-month project, further supporting with project management, community consultations, logistics, business partnerships and with engaging some of the local and regional / national artists who participated in the project.
We were proud to see the legacy of this first impactful phase continue with another Paint the Town Proud phase by Creative Start.

“It brings the area to life with colour and celebration which automatically makes you feel happy...”

“It reminds me of bigger cities and their own celebrations of culture and heritage. It brings a lot of much needed colour to grey areas of town and is very uplifting.”
