Bringing a change to the visual. The Joy of Art Street!

just the beginning.
Hi everyone, John Baldwin- AKA Cracked Painter… when I was asked about the window and its meaning, it’s about Repurposing -Regeneration and it’s about Art.
It’s also about abandoned spaces being filled and showcasing the talents of local artists. It’s many things obvious and some not so.
I wanted to bring positivity and create interest in our local talented artists.
We know art helps to revitalize the area, create a sense of pride among residents, and attract visitors who are interested in seeing unique and creative artwork and many artists talk of the wellbeing effects of art.
Additionally, by giving local artists a platform to display their work, it can help to support and promote the arts in the community and overall bring new generations into the fore. It has been proven that a regenerative approach to abandoned spaces can be a win-win for everyone involved.
I would like to thank all those that have been involved with the project’s beginnings…and with no further ado.
