CONCEPTThe Belin Wall, city based projects have been set firmly into place to resurrect lost and forgotten buildings. The Marlsbro house in Manchester will be the Project 1, and is expected to bring allot of attention to the area, especially as this building is being totally re-formed into a media center for dance, music & arts.Graffiti is still seen as a form of vandalism, but since being here in the Uk, the art work of Belin has captured the minds of the new generation of street writers. With this in mind we feel very strongly about education and interacting with the young creatives.The five storey building is in such a key place in the city, as it lies on one of the busiest roads in Manchester, that connects the ring road to the Piccadilly plaza.The effect of such a large visual piece in this format, will shock and surprise passing traffic, and demonstrates that graffiti is art and can be beautiful.We are teaming up with “Sketch City†(just been awarded the Manchester arts council award 2007) which is an organization dedicated for young artists predominately focusing in graffiti. This will boost the recognition of what we are doing and bring our project to the forefront of there reputation and respect in the city. Throughout the 2 week event there will be Sketch City Events inside the building, where people can come and join the creativity and produce pieces for the project, eventually displaying at “the Belin Wall†Exhibition.The whole of the building will be wrapped in Color, and will be so eye catching, that you will be able to see the project from miles around.VENUEThis 5 storey building is being transformed not only externally but internally to. The whole building will become the media & arts center of the Northern Quarter, which is considered to be the only true creative part of the city. Dance studios, Creative Space, Photo Studios, Galleries, Recording Studios, Internet Cafe & Design Studio, are just a few things the building has to offer.The space is possibly the largest the city has to offer for the creative for Manchester, and the owners strongly feel that such a project as the Belin Wall will catapult them into the eyes of all that can benefit from its services.Perfectly situated at the top of the Northern Quarter it has great access for everyone, either coming by public transport or by car. 5 minutes walk from both Train station and bus stationNewton Street, Manchester
