This was a joint project with Vinvolved North Hampshire, and also included artwork produced by The Jam Youth group from Buckskin in Basingstoke, and Basingstoke Young Carers.

Graffiti Art Workshops
Over the summer the EDGE Project ran four FREE graffiti workshops with Vinvolved North Hampshire. These were open to anyone aged 14 to 19, and participants learnt how to use spray cans and pens. They also learnt how to use various lettering styles and painting techniques, before putting together pieces of artwork on boards.

Participants learnt about graffiti as a legal art form, and the final work went on display at the Willis Museum as part of the 'Views from the EDGE' exhibition.

The group were able to use professional camera equipment to produce Basingstoke 2010, a film about Basingstoke today. The group interviewed local people and researched the town's history, and the final film was premiered at the Willis Museum in January 2010.
