Five young people from East Ayrshire produced a stunning mural at the famous railway arches running alongside Glasgow's Clydeside Expressway.
East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership, The Articulate Hub and Yardworks Studios Glasgow teamed up to provide the unique creative opportunity for the five artists.
Beginning in May this year, staff from EAHSCP's Intensive Support Team joined forces with renowned artists, who delivered a series of workshops featuring street art techniques.
As part of the ‘2 Express Yourself’ mural art project, participants developed their techniques and skills over eight weeks, before producing the mural.
The project was designed to showcase the talents of young people who use art as a means of expressing their thoughts and feelings.
The ‘2 Express Yourself’ street art project also offered young people a safe space to learn new skills and to work as a team.
The final mural was inspired by the Japanese concept of ‘Kintsugi’, which is the art of repairing broken pottery using powdered gold.
The participants wanted to convey a message that, even when things appear broken, there is beauty in healing and recovering.
The young people would like to thank Laura Frood (Articulate Hub), Gaz Mac (Yardworks) and all of the other artists who help them on their journey.
One of the young participants said: “This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and it has been the best thing ever. I feel so much more confident now. It’s really helped me a lot.”
