Annual ‘End of Course’ Mural Project Approved for Prominent Waterloo Wall
LSOM are proud to announce a new recurring mural project in Waterloo
The prominent wall, situated beneath Waterloo Station, will host the School’s yearly final graduate work; in a series of annually transforming designs.
Network Rail has granted permission for the London School of Muralism to paint a high visibility mural under the Taxi Ramp on Mepham St. This is a prominent public canvas that will be used to create unique participatory murals; enhancing the currently neglected urban space and reducing fear of anti-social behaviour in the area.
Explore our new mural location!The LSOM ‘end of course’ mural is an opportunity for students to put into practice the skills they have gained during the course. They will experience first-hand the process of running workshops with community groups, as well as organising and undertaking wall painting.
With a new graduate cohort approaching the project each year, the space will be kept fresh and interesting. Although the designs may change, we plan to maintain consistency through an ongoing collaboration with St Johns at Waterloo.
Our Plan is to work with their existing Arts Club. A group which is inclusive of local people experiencing mental health issues, homelessness and refugees.
Members of the St Johns Arts Club and the LSOM students will be equal participants in the creative process.
The school will begin its first participatory process for the wall on the 19th of March. With plans to complete the first mural here by the End of May 2025.
