We have been working with a small group of young people up at Henley Green youth club. Two girls and two boys had formed "HGSG" Henley Green Steering Group at youth cub and their first task was to design and create a logo and identity for the group. The young people started off with brainstorming ideas and went on to develop their ideas further......
Once they had the different logo's digitalised they then consulted with others at youth club to which they preferred and what changes if any needed doing. After the consultation they tweaked their logo and saved it ready for their forthcoming blog, merchandise and promo material.
THE WORKSHOPS WE OFFER ARE FLEXIBLE, CREATIVE, IMAGINATIVE AND FUN.

We were contacted by a local DJ who wanted us to paint a Canvas for his house. We asked him what sort of thing he was after and he was very vague, "Something Cov" and colour wise "Any", the only sure thing was the size it had to be. So we got in the studio and had a stab in the dark with a canvas of the Coventry skyline with a bunch of colours and texture.
Luckily we hit the nail right on the head and he loved it! We have another canvas in the pipeline only this time he know's what he wants and we've been given a bit more direction.

We were contacted by a lady from Leamington who had seen a bring colour wall that we did a while back (The Best Till Last) and wanted something along the same lines.
On the chimney breast in her bedroom she wanted us to paint a small sprig picked out from the Laura Ashley floral curtains.
We popped over to Leamington, painted the delicate sprig and left a very happy lady with the feature wall she requested.

Taylor Johns House got in touch with Bring Colour and asked us to deliver a quick street art workshop at The Pod. Taylor Johns and The Pea Pod Collective were hosting an arts festival at the pod, we went along and worked with two groups in quick-fire 15 min sessions. Everyone got the chance to make their own individual pieces using a variety of mixed media that they could keep.
The workshops we offer are flexible, creative, imaginative and fun.

Throughout last summer we worked with Paul Taylor from the Fargo Team at trying to bring some colour to Far Gosford Street and the soon to be Fargo Village. We had mentioned to Paul that we had been planning an empty shop project, transforming a run down, empty shop into a gallery space for a pop-up exhibition showcasing the work of Coventry artists.
Paul liked the sound of our project and suggested we use an empty unit in the village, he showed us around unit 7, previously Backbeat rehearsal rooms. Unit 7 had been damaged by fire, Fargo had the roof replaced, the electrics sorted out and new strip lights fitted. The toilets and water supply didn't work and the place was full of rubbish, pallets and dirt.
We didn't commit to anything right there and then, although the space at Fargo had fantastic potential it also had a lot of work that needed doing to bring it up-to scratch for us to open up to the public as a gallery. We came away from unit 7 excited with the space but slightly overwhelmed with the workload and decided that it wasn't something we could tackle alone.
We had previously contacted Coventry council's Arts Development Service
seeking some help, advise and information on possible funding sources for our pop-up gallery project, but we were unsuccessful and were just left waiting. Fed up of waiting we decided that the opportunity at unit 7 was too good to let slip through our fingers so arranged a meeting between Bring Colour and the Hearts Gang.
We asked the Hearts Gang lads if they wanted to work together on the project and put on a Hearts Gang group exhibition, everyone liked the idea and seemed keen. We explained that we'll be doing it on a budget of £0.00 and the response was "who cares?"
We got the keys to Unit 7 and things got hectic. Dedicated volunteers, the HG lads and Bring Colour all rolled up our sleeves and got stuck in.
We emptied the unit
of rubbish and started on the walls, brushing off the flakey paint and
cleaning them up ready for white washing. We boxed in the electrics,
hung a new toilet door, even had a plumber come in and fix the
"un-fixable" toilet. After a good few layers of white emulsion and the building of a counter the gallery was taking shape and was ready for
Artwork to be brought in and hung on the walls.
The Handsome Gentlemen
exhibition included artworks from HG members, Abel, Andrew John Smith,
Body Odour, James Mewett, Kevin Donnelly, Pecks and Vel.
To celebrate
the launch of the Exhibition and the completed transformation from a
grotty warehouse to a white gallery, we threw a party. We invited
everyone to come down, check out the artwork, listen to some tunes and have a
drink with the gang. The launch party featured a live performance from
HG members Idyllic and Ricta as well as a super selection of tunes
from Eddie Goodtimes, KI Groover and Saul. The launch party was a
success and the gallery was well and truly open for business.
The Exhibition ran for a 11 days and we had over 543 visitors to gallery,
the feedback that we had from visitors was fantastic, a few of our
favourite comments in the guest book were:
"Not enough of this in Coventry - A must see" Johnny
"Excellent show of local artists with a unique style" Joel
"Brilliant effort, very welcoming. Hope you are working on the next one!" Ellie
"G ♥ ♥ D !" Fred
When we closed the door
to the public for the final time the work hadnt finished, we wanted to
leave the unit in a much better state than it was in when we first
entered. After taking down the artwork, touching up the white and
clearing all of our belongings we were ready to hand back the keys.
If you would like to purchase a Handsome Gentlemen T-Shirt, a limited number are available from the Bring Colour shop.
Thank You to everyone that came to the gallery and supported the Handsome Gentlemen exhibition.

Mr Rax form the Kasbah asked Bring Colour to pop down to the club and create a couple of backdrops for Tricky Discos 1st birthday. To celebrate the 1st birthday of tricky disco, the Kasbah crew booked
headline act & hip hop legend Grandmaster Flash to perform. Bring Colour were asked to produce two graffiti/urban backdrops for either
side of the DJ box, so we went down to the club & got busy.

you are interested in a Bring Colour custom backdrop, have an enquiry or would like

Savvy from the Vendetta Bass crew got in touch with Bring Colour because he wanted us to bash together some graphics for Vendetta Bass's fifth release, VB-005.
For VB-005 Savvy wanted the same layout as the previous graphics we produced for VB-001 & VB-004, although the main image and colour theme for VB-005 had to be darker than previous ones as the theme for this release was the "Plague".
VB-005 is available 04/03/13 at all major retailers.
A - Savvy - "Plague"
AA - Digital Era - "Mayday"

Bring Colour were recommended to a lady in Kent who was searching for something to decorate the wall of her sons room but couldn't find exactly what she wanted. The vinyl stickers she had looked at were just too babyish.
When we
launched our January Sale on children's murals, she couldn't resist and
snapped us up on our offer. We were asked to use elements from their Joules
circus Duvet & cushion to decorate a wall in their sons bedroom.
We
popped down to Kent yesterday, got creative, painted a circus themed
wall, personalised it with a little 'W' for Will & continued the
theme nicely on to the ceiling with a few matching stars.
