https://paintshopstudio.com/The idea was conceived and driven by local creative agency Paintshop Studio, who as regular users of the Central Gardens recognised the potential of the space, and the dramatic beauty created by the concrete supports.
Paintshop Studio directors, Rick Walker and Sandra Ramos, set about to bring the idea to life – enlisting the help of BCP Council, securing funding from Arts Council England and partnering with local companies, experts in their relevant fields.
In the autumn of 2019, 11 commissioned artists started work to change this uninviting and unloved space into someplace positive and inspiring for the whole community, showcasing this amazing art-form to new audiences.
