Caught in the act on Stevenson Square


The latest set of wonderful artwork at Stevenson Square was started last week.  Here is one of the talented artists putting the finishing touches to what I interpret as an anti arms race statement. The latest artworks are replacing the white, red and black theme that you can see on the right and which featured here on Mancunian Wave earlier in the summer. 

You can read all about the murals past and present at Outhouse Manchester . As ever the murals are sponsored by arts and crafts shop Fred Aldous, one of a couple of art shops on the vibrant and gritty square.

  2. How fun to see the artist at work! I managed to see one mural that was being worked on when I was in Florida earlier this year, but only the equipment was there when I arrived - the artist was probably at lunch! This is a neat photo!

  8. Nice catch here Chrissy, it must be great for an artist to be able to do their work out there in public without fear of being hassled! Taggers should be hassled oui!
