U can spray cio email format

U CAN Spray creates fully inclusive arts experiences to positively impact individuals and communities. We do this by working with community groups and educational establishments, and in partnership with local authorities and public bodies. We deliver spray-painting workshops, murals and interventions that use street art to help people access arts and create where this has not been accessible or welcoming before. Our innovative projects are carefully designed to meet the needs of all involved. Work has taken place in prisons, schools, mental health institutions, domestic violence services, skate parks, community centres, charity settings and high streets. We also offer a standalone pop up workshop format, that engages a wider public audience at community events and festivals. Our event and corporate work helps us subsidise projects with more marginalised people in the community. We love to use practical and creative tools to re-engage and benefit young people, especially those classed as ‘NEET’ or at risk of offending and/or exploitation, to give them positive experiences of engagement with services and build self-esteem. We also offer longer-term options and support to achieve Arts Award qualifications. We want to harness the power of street art to create lasting social change in the UK.
