From murals created with love by residents on their own streets, to prestigious commercial commissions at sites across Scotland, through our wide range of educational, community and creative projects we’re able to bring social change, opportunity and inspiration to communities, the city and beyond.
Art is for everyone. We believe in its power to transform, change and inspire. Through our wide range of creative projects, we’re able to harness the accessibility and joy of street arts to encourage social change, provide opportunity and inspire creativity within communities.
In the community
Our ongoing partnership with the prestigious university goes from strength to strength, with artwork of all shapes, colour and sizes, from local and international Yardworks artists, now adorning library walls, stairwells and gardens.

One of our most high-profile partnerships with Network Rail has helped our mission to support the graffiti and street arts community, as well as champion the cause with the general public. Our significant commissions range from murals at railway stations to transforming railway arches with skilled artwork.

The number of commissions we receive through Yardworks, whether it’s a high-profile partnership or a one-off piece to hang on someone’s wall, is an indication that things are changing, with the outrageous skill and talent of street arts and graffiti artists being more widely recognised — and celebrated.

Our partnership with the Glasgow Riverside Innovation District is one of our most ambitious and far-reaching projects to date, stepping outside of the SWG3 complex and transforming the neighbouring districts of Yorkhill, Partick and Govan with a vibrant open-air gallery.
