DRAWDA is a legacy programme, making use of shared public outdoor streets & walls, and engaging with a new and wider audience. Working with local collaborators, the local authority and key cultural providers, it has created a visual vibrancy and a cascade of colour in the town, reinvigorating derelict public places and streets. The project is inclusive, and has supported over 16 artists in its delivery to date.
