Colourful resin mushrooms! 🍄🌈

Encouraging imagination, fine motor skills, and confidence building to create a little piece of handmade magic!

Hair Salon Studio 56 set us the challenge to create an impactful, hair related mural for the external of their premises, to catch the eyes of people passing by.

Connor Pembroke was the artist who produced the red headed lady, whose hair, flows like fire down the side of the wall.

Property company DWP based on the south coast of England, commissioned our team to rejuvenate and add some wonder to the entrance of their headquarters.

Artists Kellyman and Mask Art took to the wall with their spray paints, and 4 days later this weird and wonderful scene was brought to life.

Making shared spaces cleaner, safer and greener for local residents, by installing murals and holding community clean ups.

This Project's first mural, completed by Jack Kellythorn, is situated on Borthwick Lane, an alleyway between St Clements Road and Borthwick Road (adjacent to Churchill Gardens) notorious for fly tipping and drug use.

The Arts University Bournemouths Summer show 🙌🏻

Before Summer our young people enjoyed a visit to the AUB Summer Show, exploring a fantastic exhibition of creative work from talented students across a range of art and design disciplines. 🎨✨

The visit encouraged everyone to think creatively, discover new artistic techniques, and gain inspiration from the incredible variety of work on display. From fine art and illustration to photography, design and sculpture there was something to spark every imagination.

Experiences like these help build confidence, encourage creative thinking, and show the many exciting opportunities that exist within the creative industries.

A huge thank you to everyone at Arts University Bournemouth for showcasing such inspiring work—we had a wonderful time!

Drink can car 🚗

Using recycled drinks cans, DR designed, assembled, and created a unique vehicle while learning about construction, engineering, and the importance of reusing everyday items.

This hands-on activity encouraged teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking working together to make their cars both functional and fun.

It's always inspiring to see how imagination can turn simple materials into something amazing!

Cheese cakes from around the world 🌎

We took our taste buds on a trip around the world by exploring cheesecakes from different countries!

From discovering how recipes vary across cultures to creating and tasting different styles of cheesecake, everyone learned about the traditions, ingredients, and techniques that make each one unique.

This hands-on activity helped develop cooking skills, teamwork, creativity, and confidence in the kitchen while encouraging curiosity about food from around the world.

Learning through cooking is a fantastic way to explore different cultures, build practical life skills, and have plenty of fun along the way!

Well done JM they were delicious!

Fantastic work from LS's Gold Arts Award 🎨

LS has recently passed her Gold Arts Award 👏🏼 we are incredibly proud of all she has achieved! Well done LS!

MBN Arts were commissioned by The Handy Trust, a youth organisation based in Hythe, Hampshire, to deliver an exciting large-scale youth mural project at Netley View Skatepark.

The aim was for 30 local young people supported by MBN ARTS coaches Mike and Jack to transform the skatepark into a bold, fun spray painted mural, with the theme of scooters and space! The young people who regularly use the park had the opportunity to get directly involved in its regeneration and to achieve something they could feel proud to have contributed to. The coaches were incredibly impressed by the young people’s engagement and determination.

Check out the final result!

The project was made possible with funding from ExxonMobil and OPCC.

A huge thank you again to all the young people and The Handy Trust for partnering with ARTS 😊!
