Who we are

Welcome to MAKE

Art belongs in the open. Community happens in the moment.

Founded by street artists and organisers Ali and Mel, MAKE is a Community Interest Company (CIC) built on a simple belief: public spaces are at their best when they bring people together.

We combine street art, large-scale public creative projects, and grassroots organising to transform everyday environments into vibrant hubs of connection. For us, public art isn't just about paint on a wall—it’s about creating shared experiences, celebrating local identity, and making space for genuine community moments.

What We Do

  • Public Art & Murals: Crafting bold, accessible visual art that reflects the spirit and stories of local neighborhoods.

  • Community Engagement: Running inclusive workshops and co-creation projects that give residents direct ownership of their shared spaces.

  • Cultural Organising: Partnering with local groups, creators, and councils to turn big ideas into unforgettable gathering moments.

Whether we’re coordinating a neighbourhood mural or facilitating a creative gathering, MAKE exists to spark connection, amplify local voices, and ensure culture stays rooted where it matters most: right on the street.

A colorful mural painted on a wall shows a stylized face of an elderly man with glasses and a beard, painted in bright reds, purples, blues, and yellows. The mural is situated outdoors on a city sidewalk with brick and wood buildings nearby.
