We Are Bombsquad York,

We're a York-based non-profit community arts organisation passionate about street art and beyond. We aim to enrich the cultural landscape of our city whilst raising money for local charities.We're grassroots and authentic. We have decades of experience immersed in the art world between our core members. BombSquad's culture has grown out of our love of art and our belief in its transformative nature for the communities in which it resides.

After raising over £20000 to support York Food Bank with our last event, we decided to support York Mind, a local advice centre to help people who experience all types of mental distress, and who may require help for mental health issues, with our new project, Educated Vandals.

With this new project, we are turning an iconic building in the city centre of York, with river view, into a unique Street Art Installation for a few weeks by inviting a selection of artists to come and paint on two floors, and exhibit Art works. Artists participating are Rowdy, Mighty Mo, James Jessop, Listen04, Dan Cimmermann, and a selection of local artists and guests, This Space will be open to the public from Saturday, July the 15th for three weekends only. A shop will be selling artworks from the exhibiting artists and more, with all profit from the sale being donated to York Mind. Visitors will be able to donate on the day, or through this page, to support the realisation of this project, and support the Mental Health Charity, York Mind.
