The Cardiff based arts collective ‘Peaceful Progress’ have transformed an old Boiler House into Wales’ first dedicated Graffiti and Street Art Gallery. The Boiler House includes a large indoor graffiti gallery space, over 100ft of outdoor wall space, a shop and a studio. This innovative project provides a legitimate space for graffiti artists to reach a wider audience and showcases Graffiti art as a positive and sustainable art-form. Through workshops with Schools and Community Centres the Boiler House will inspire young people to get creative, and will be especially good at engaging with hard to reach groups of young people.

The Boiler House will hold monthly exhibitions featuring the best of local and national Graffiti artists. The independent shop is open to the public and stocks original and affordable canvas work by graffiti artists based in South Wales. The grand opening is on the 27th February, from 12pm – 10pm, come down and experience counter culture at its best.

See www.boilerhousegraffiti.com for more information.

Peaceful Progress was founded by Graffiti artist Bryce Davies in 2000, and now represents a number of artists and performers based in South Wales. Peaceful Progress were responsible for the Fair Play festival held in Canton in 2008/2009 which raised over £1000 for War on Want (08) and the The SAFE Foundation (09). Currently Peaceful Progress run the monthly ‘Dub in the Pub’ nights at the Lansdowne Pub and the group tour the festival circuit throughout the summer with the Peaceful Progress Graffiti Tent. The Boiler House is a community based project to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together through Graffiti art.

Below is Sebastian’s latest work for Overthrill’s upcoming EP
