Preston city Council have donated £1k to the project.
Preston artist Shawn Sharpe has been granted permission to paint a new mural in the city - but he needs the public’s help. Shawn - the artist behind the ‘Mother’ and ‘Pauline In The Yellow Dress’ murals - is planning to paint another illustration on Tithebarn Street. He hopes the mural will transform a huge grey wall near the bus station into a “colourful masterpiece,” creating another stunning landmark in the city.
“The project isn't just about mural art; murals will revitalise our city, create tourism and boost local businesses. Most importantly, put pride in our city centre.” At the time of writing, £2,946 had been pledged by 38 people. Shawn recently worked with Loom Loft Furniture and Interiors which opened its doors at Trident Retail Park on Port Way in April. The mural paid tribute to Preston Docks and the town’s rich textile history.
