Chorlton Traders and Chorlton Civic Society have been working together to bring art to the streets of Chorlton in South Manchester.  We’ve been commissioning artists to brighten up some dull and graffitied places because we know that properly commissioned art not only makes our town more attractive, but it can act as a deterrent to vandals.

If you have a gable end or a dull piece of wall, or your shutters have been tagged by vandals,  then commissioning an artist is the way to brighten up your corner of Chorlton.  

On this site, you’ll find a directory of artists  – have a look, choose your favourite and contact them direct.  We also have some tips to help you to manage your project and a draft contract to adapt for your own use. 

With the right artist, your business could become a landmark – or even a visitor attraction!
