Public Art in South Acton

Reel News made a short film on how the arts are transforming South Acton. Artists Mark Wydler and Teddy Baden have created some beautiful pieces of streetart to brighten up the estate. The art has had a very positive response from the local residents, who say they brighten up the area, put a smile on people’s faces and give them something interesting to look at. More to come soon, with participation from the local community. Check out the video below!
