project info
The Phoenix Rising mural involved a local artist, Dean (a former serive user at Project 6), who worked with current service users at the centre to design a mural for their building. Dean worked with the community to create the mural design and paint the finished artwork on the side of the Project 6 building. Involving a professional artist and a recovering substance-user to work with the participants created a newfound relationship and experience as part of the co-design process. The finished ‘Phoenix Rising’ mural artwork will continue to inspire and support the service users at the centre. The project was supported through The Leap's Creative Consultation Awards; using creative activity to consult with local people on what arts and culture they'd like to see more of on their doorstep and what the current barriers to arts engagement are.
