We have partnered with Global Street Art for an exciting project that is transforming some of the walls around the Grahame Park Estate into public art galleries. Art for Estates is a programme that increases the amount of public art in housing estates with no cost to Barnet Homes or residents.

World-class artists, looking for places to paint murals on appropriate wall spaces are matched with organisations like ours to bring vibrant colours into the community.

We have done a lot of research and talked to other housing organisations to get their feedback before we piloted the project.

“These walls make the estate look much better than before; it brings colour. I could stand and look at the pieces for hours. You see, no one has defaced the artworks. This is great, it means they are admiring it”
Chris, Estate Manager.

To see more about the project, use the hashtags #artforestate or #globalstreetart on Instagram.

We are keen to expand this project to other estates and invite you to provide suggestions on locations you feel would benefit from some inspiring, colourful art.

Suggestions can be emailed to getinvolved@barnethomes.org.
