A community arts project called SLAM will be held on the twentieth of November this year and will aim to combat graffiti in the Perth CBD. Local artists will be given the opportunity to create artwork to cover up badly vandalized areas to improve on the aesthetics of the community.

The event is located at Russel Square, Northbridge at 11am.

The day will include local musicians, food vendors, a live mural painting and people attending the fair will also have the ability to purchase merchandise to help support the project financially.

In it’s inaugural year, SLAM looks to create awareness of the issue of graffiti in our city and help turn something negative into a positive with the help of the community.

This is for guests to throw money into when watching the buskers, it has the logo branding at the bottom of the water to reinforce that the event is not about the buskers but rather about supporting the local artists. The original idea was to have a custom shaped bucket in with the logo in it, however this would be more cost effective.

This is what the front of the flyer would look like when closed. The concept is that when you open the mainly desaturated front cover, you are struck by the fully coloured cover-up art on the wall. This adds meaning, interactivity and fun to the flyer

The middle panel would be the back of the flyer. The left and right panels would be the right and left halves of the front cover respectively (seen in the next pad).

The cover photo was made so that it would display well on both desktop and mobile versions of Facebook. This is what a person on their mobile device would see.

The process of screen printing.

The frame is made out of pure silk which allows the paint to transfer through.

Stick the stencil of your choice to the outer pater of the silk screen. secure the stencil with tape.

pour the paint on the the wrong side of the screen and spread it with the help of rubber blade.

These logo was made in a vector format (a jpeg is attached) so that it is infinitely resizable for multiple purposes e.g. the staff t shirts, flyer, poster, cover photo. The logo includes a brush which symbolises the artists that we're supporting. It also includes the name of the organisation which includes it's motive

Local Perth Artist would be employed to draw/cover up the graffiti around the city. The medium and style of which the artist wish to use can be anything, this allows the artist to not be limited in creativity and allows for a different variety of styles and art techniques to be used. However, all the artist must be drawing on the theme of Australia. The theme Australia was chosen because it held more meaning to the local community as it is the country which we all live in.

Kids Paintings: To kick start the local artists work we will have a section of the footpath for kids and the artists to work together on creating a piece of work that will be similar to the art that will cover the graffiti through the city. kids will get an opportunity to paint a blob of colour on the footpath and the artists will then go over in black and create animals in the colours. there will be picture updates through the Facebook event and a live "unveiling" at the end of the day in a live Facebook (on the TV networks page) and TV feed.
Buskers: There will be live music, which will be local buskers. This is also going to be live through Facebook (on SLAM's page) and the tin for the donations will be in the shape of SLAM's logo and all money raised will go towards the local artists and the work they are doing.
Local foodies: Getting the local food trucks or cafes to come and support our cause. SLAM wont be paying the food trucks or stalls they can just make their profit from their sales. However there will be a fee of $400 for setting up at the fair. Every plate will have a new and unique design from the different artists and photos and live broadcasts will be taken of these. That will also mean media attention to the foodies.

The objective of this project is to raise money which will pay professional local artists to redeveloped badly vandalized areas in Northbridge. If successful this project will attract the attention of some of Perth’s brightest street artists such as:
Stormie Mills- A Perth based street artist who has worked in many cities including Berlin, Los Angeles and London. In 2002 he was invited to create large scale murals in Greece for the Olympics
Dan Duggan- An experienced urban artist who specializes in large scale murals and public art projects. He also runs a workshop for young people where he teaches graffiti art techniques. One of his best works was a large scale mural in a cyclist underpass in Hay St, Subiaco Perth
Potion X- A Sydney born artist who now resides in Perth. He is primarily a freelance illustrator and a muralist. He is also a youth worker which will be particularly beneficial to this project where the target audience are young adults.

Large scale projects often take careful planning and funding. I researched some programs that might help in planning this project and came across the Arts and cultural sponsorship program run by the City of Perth council. The Programs main aim is to support art and cultural practice that reflects Perth as a community that is vibrant and diverse. Applicants are eligible for a grant of up to $10000 dollars.

Attached below are the guidelines explaining how to apply and general requirements

While deciding the location many factors were taken into consideration. Some factors included proximity to the city and the dominant land use in the suburb. After considering these factors the suburb of Northbridge was decided as the area of focus for the project. Northbridge sits adjacent to Perth’s CBD and is dominated by business and recreational land use. Moreover it is a popular area for young adults. Northbridge is also minutes away from Perth Train and Bus station making it easily accessible for people from both north and south of Perth.

The top cities for effective and long lasting Street Art include Melbourne, Lisbon, Columbia, Mexico City, and New York. New York is the heaviest influence of Street Art practices all over the world, and this is because of their sustainable measures they take to protect and prolong the existence of the art.

Longer lasting Street Art uses a weather shield to be protected by the elements, which is applied to the art yearly. This has been proved effective in Mexico City and New York where some murals have lasted 30 years and look untouched!
We aim to bring this lasting effect to the Street Art our artists will create, and they will also be using environmentally friendly paint. This means the paint will release less chemicals into our fragile water ways in Perth, and less toxins will be released into the environment.

Much research has gone into how to how to promote social sustainability - that is ensuring people do not graffiti over our Artist's creations. Creating three-dimensional art has proved successful in New York. This involves using objects that sit off the wall, for example two men may be engage in a tug-of-war and the rope in the middle of the mean may be glued onto the wall. This method, and making the art beautiful and meaningful to look at, will decrease the chances of the art being vandalised, as well as raising awareness through this event.

Another way we wish to ensure our sustainable event is through predominantly online advertising of it rather than on paper. However, any physical paper advertising we do will be on recycled paper and this has our 100% guarantee.

The target age group we want to come is the "most likely to graffiti" ages which are believed to be between 12-24. We decided the target age group would be 6-35 however this is not exclusive. This was decided based on younger families deciding live in the outer cheaper suburbs known as the Rural Urban Fringe or following the trend in decreasing urban sprawl and living in the CBD. Our aim is to bring communities together in the pursuit for a common and very achievable goal, as well as teach the next generation about sustainable living by encouraging the removal of crime from Perth.

# data[].attributes.body
In Perth each year, over $30 million of tax payer's money is spent on removing Graffiti. The problem of Graffiti in Perth is believed to be on the mend due to technological advancements including CCTV footage. However, the need for a fair to fund Street Art projects across Perth is needed now more than ever as Graffiti still continues to chalk up huge sums of money to be removed. This was seen in the City of Swan in 2015, where a public sports facility required $100,000 worth of Graffiti removals.

Lower socio-economic areas, particularly those in Perth's south are where Graffiti is heavily linked to crime. Any wall is a target, and young children being brought up in this area - as many young families with little money live in these cheaper, outer suburbs away from the Central Business District (CBD) may believe it is acceptable to deface public property.
