Huddersfield Rising

Huddersfield Rising is a community-led mural project, and we’re super excited to be a part of this fantastic campaign!

Huddersfield Rising is about bringing high-quality public art into neighbourhoods across Kirklees. The project will train and commission local artists, while engaging art students from schools and colleges in hands-on mural design and delivery alongside professional practitioners. Building on existing creative work in the town, Huddersfield Rising aims to increase the long-term demand for street art, and expand paid opportunities for artists at all career stages.

The project is still in its inception phase, and is being shaped by extensive community consultations and will be delivered in partnership with residents, artists and local organisations. Funding raised will support fair artist fees, materials, access costs and learning opportunities, while helping unlock further grant funding and sustained impact.
