Good to see its legit and going to a good cause!

someone really did take your half empty glass of life and just pour it down the sink while you watched didnt they. 

Bit of info and backstory to the charity.


MyMural inspires, enables and normalizes the possibilities for new artworks among everyday settings. Thanks to support from Cockayne – Grants for the Arts (London Community Foundation), GLA Mayors Office and a Charity Auction donation from Stik, we are very pleased to announce that the MyMural is coming to Acton. Over the coming year, this pilot contributes to an important sea change in the way artists work with residents in the city.

MyMural brings together internationally experienced collaborators from arts facilitation, practice-led academic research and engagements, together with regional and local authorities and a world-renowned street art practitioner to bring new opportunities for high-quality artworks to happen in new contexts in London.

The goals of this project are to:

• Open access to spaces to be transformed into open outdoor galleries, thus supporting creative placemaking and enhancing London’s creative offer.

• Provide opportunities for the commissioning of new work by young and emerging artists, whilst nurturing their talents and skills in street and mural arts practices.

• Promote new approaches to enabling art and culture in the capital through a scheme and artworks that is experimental, risk-taking and engages large and diverse audiences.

The Mayor of London has highlighted culture as one of his key priorities. He is committed to ensuring that London retains its status as the world’s leading capital city for culture and creativity and ensuring more Londoners access arts and culture. A key feature of London’s Cultural Infrastructure Plan is to give outstanding artists opportunities to make exciting new work, encourage Londoners to get more involved in creative activities, as well as cultivate London’s creative value by opening access to the use of spaces as open galleries.

MyMural benefits are multifaceted. For the Local Authority experiencing austerity measure pressures, spending and administration are reduced and responsibility is devolved to communities. By ensuring residents and artists talk to each other to resolve any issues without having to go to the local authority. For Artists the project increases the number of wall spaces and gets new works off the ground and on the wall. It pilots new ways of working with residents to achieve high-quality art in people's everyday contexts. For Londoners the scheme is democratic, ensuring that local residents are engaged in the commissioning process of quality works. It also enables arts practice opportunities and offers artist workshops to local residents.

Artification is working with Ealing Council, South Acton residents, Acton Gardens and the MyMural partnership team from Central Saint Martins, the GLA, artist Stik, and Wood Street Walls to deliver the Acton pilot activities as an embedded part of the wider MyMural project.

Well, it was going to be turned to dust like the rest of the building. So it could have just gone away, would that be better than the charity getting the money for it? 

Would YOU prefer the charity got nothing instead? 

The one in the massive post above yours you moron. 

Lol pissgod and moron both bore me to death, sometimes i do sometimes i dont. Pissgod is a bit too easy to gauge though, so hes kinda getting the same repetative hurting. Moron is just well.....

Been here for a long time, i know how it flows :-) 

LOL  Thats the funny part,  He cant !!!

ha ha you wish. Doesnt worry me at all. I just assume you have poor self worth issues, and are trying to massage your ego. The last few times you tried, ive played that against you. Each time you have folded and walked away, and i havnt had to listen to you over and over. Doesnt prove i was right, but it works, and it sure suggests i may have been. 

I have a degree in Experimental Psychology pissgod, im a little above your silly games, think what you may. 

yeah yeah, im just another person who thinks your a bit of a nothing. You dont like it, i get it. Kicking back like that, just shows you out for the douche bag you are. Quite happy you see me as left wing, very happy in fact. better that than some self obsessed arsehole.

Thanks for sharing Rebate.....such a shame. Hope it sells for a fortune and 250K plus would be nice

So sad to see the building being torn down, out of interest does anyone know how long it took to demolish?

Not long, this dude doesnt mess about!

I dont think he even wanted any, his body must have learned to turn adrenaline into a food source or something! 

yeah, you might have been a bit early there.
