Why?

It's about bringing the community
[read]
Together to change something dying
[between]
Into something living that will live on
[the]
Once the bricks and mortar
[lines]
Dissolve forever.

WHY?
Why not?

THE STORY
The Heygate Estate is going to be demolished. Once all the people are out there will be a period of time where the buildings will be left empty. Just several gargantuan empty shells... I see the promise in painting them.

THE IDEA
We could paint them. Check out examples of other painted buildings around the world by clicking here. It's only an idea. If you think it's a good idea cast your vote on the poll and leave a comment or email paintthe@gmail.com. Only you can make this happen. That's the beauty of this project.

THE ARTISTS
These artists have said that they would come down and help if we got the building. Just click on their name to see there work Shepard Fairey, Blu, Rich Simmons (UK), Eine (UK), Chris Stain (USA), Blek Le Rat (French), Armsrock (Denmark). We haven't contacted Banksy yet but we know he's waiting.

You don't need to be an artist, you need to be risk taker.
