Project Farsley

We are nearly half way towards our Crowdfunder goal at 48%!
First of all we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, support and help to achieve our vision of celebrating our community by bringing more colour and creativity to the streets of Farsley.
We still have a long way to go to reach our goal and we would be really thankful if you could share our project and crowdfunder link with your friends and family - every little bit helps 🧡

FILM ANNOUNCEMENT!

We are pleased to announce the film for the first Project Farsley Film Club is: Martha: A Picture Story, a documentary about the iconic photographer Martha Cooper who has photographed graffiti and street art for over forty years. Her book Subway Art is the ‘bible’ of graffiti and is widely considered to be one of the most stolen books of all time!

Join us on the 15th November at 7.30pm at Room 51 at FCC, 51 Town Street, Farsley, LS28 5HX

Tickets £7 and £5 concessionary: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/project-farsley-film-club-martha-a-picture-story-tickets-1065179152519?aff=oddtdtcreator

We bet you’ve been wondering ‘Who will design the next mural for Farsley. . . ?’ 🤔

Zoe Power (Zoë Power Artist & Sign Writer) was one of the original five candidates for the mural on Croft Street. Zoe's piece was so well received by the community that we approached her about designing the next mural. She works all over the country but her tallest mural is in Leeds and was designed for Yorkshire Contemporary at Tower Works Leeds and it’s a whopping 20 meters high (pictured below)!

To help us fund our next public artwork designed by Zoe, head to our crowdfunder: https://buff.ly/3AboNMJ

SAVE THE DATE! 🎞️

Project Farsley Film Club starts Friday 15th November 🎬

For our first ever Film Club we will be promoting our Crowd Funder for a new mural in Farsley and will be screening a street art and graffiti documentary - film to be announced soon! 🍿

We’ve mentioned the incredible incentives on our Farsley Mural Trail crowdfunder already but we don’t think we’ve done them justice!

In exchange for helping us to fund more large-scale mural art in Farsley we are offering an array of goodies such as the A4 and A3 prints pictured below (some signed by the artist Melody Murals), tote bags (pictured), baking workshops and graffiti workshops. You can choose to do either workshop on your own or as a group. See our crowdfunder page for more details: https://buff.ly/3AboNMJ

Project Farsley
Join our free monthly sketchbook group with Caroline.
Whether a beginner or seasoned artist, everyone is welcome to come explore their creativity in a friendly, supportive environment.

Bring the Family!
Our first meet up is this Saturday 26 Oct 1:30-3:30 outside Sunny Bank Mills by the sheep with the denim legs. Bring your sketchbook, ideas and creativity (we have a small stock of materials to borrow if you don't have your own). Weather depending, you may need warm clothing, an umbrella, a seat, a blanket, whatever makes you comfortable for sketching outside in October!
