COMMUNITY
We reinvest our income in a number of ways that support the local community. The team works on a voluntary basis and donates its time, materials and income to create free artwork in a number of formats. We have a set fee that all artists are paid - regardless of their influence/appeal - and cover all travel, accomodation and food costs, as too often artists are underpaid and undervalued for their time and work.
MURALS
If you have a wall to donate, want to celebrate a cultural icon past or present with an inspiring story, are an artist or want to put forward a suggestion for a mural then get in touch. We aim to support 4 murals of this kind a year. Take a look at previous examples here.
PAINT JAMS
We use paint jams to help make community events more engaging and visual, using permanent walls, hoardings or plywood cubes, inviting artists to paint using their full creative license.
EVENTS
Our team is available for events, whether you want a live street art installation, public participation spray painting or an activity for the kids we can tailor our approach to suit your needs.
We donate our time and materials to provide free artwork in a number of formats. Local businesses and organisations also get involved to donate resources to help us reach maximum potential.

Creative CONSULTANCY SERVICES
We have established a creative consultancy that works on global projects with world renowned artists whilst supporting local businesses, not for profits and community groups.
We work with our clients to develop a creative strategy that will meet their objectives whilst also fulfilling the Wood Street Walls goals which we use as a benchmark for the projects we are involved in. If we don’t feel that a campaign fits with our vision and ethos then we choose not to be involved - we use art for change, not art of adverts.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
We work with brands to engage with the public through artwork. We can support you to instal a specific artwork, respond to a brief or give an artist full creative licence to execute the mural based on your requirements.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
We develop a strategy to reach a specific demographic or target audience. It is an effective method to get stakeholder buy in prior to a mural being installed. Our offering includes workshops with your target audience, public consultation at events and online polls.
SHOPFRONT DESIGN & SIGNAGE
We work with you to bring new life to a shop front and/or design new signage, both on and offline.

THE CUBE - WALTHAMSTOW GARDEN PARTY 2016
We erected our street art cube for the first time and offered visitors to the event a free activity to be part of a live mural painted over the weekend - more than 1,000 people were involved over the two days. We also had a stall on which kids could create their own bedroom signs using stencils, wood and spray paint at a cost of £2 per child - 300 kids were involved.
USEFUL & BEAUTIFUL / PICK YOUR PATTERN
In the lead up to the painting of the Pick Your Project / William Morris mural, we worked with Bread Collective to paint a mural on the Salvation Army wall opposite the William Morris Gallery, during the Walthamstow Garden Party - this helped as a way to raise awareness of the wider project during a large scale event that guaranteed greater footfall.
HIGHAMS PARK PAINT JAM
Our moveable plywood cube was erected and artists were invited down to paint over the weekend - artists Olivier Roubieu, Elno, Carleen De Souza, Woskerski - giving visitors the chance to watch the painting in action.

TESTIMONIALS
“How touched we all are that Wood Street Walls wanted to paint a tribute to Chris on the side of our workshop in Vallentin Road. The likeness by a fabulous artist is amazing and when finished will be a spectacular welcome to everyone arriving at Wood Street Station.
We have worked with Wood Street Walls for over two years, starting with their first mural in Ravenswood Industrial Estate next to Gods Own Junkyard. We have seen the amazing work they produce grow from strength to strength, with the support of the local community. Their goal to help establish more affordable studio space for artists is a worthwhile cause and something we believe is seriously needed in the borough. We will continue to support them until their goal is a reality.
