Artist, Holly Graham held a free poster making workshop at Edgware Library where attendees learned how to use creative word-play and collage to create their very own advertising poster that promotes a vision for a green future for Edgware. A selection of these posters will later be displayed on the wall at 158 Station Road for everyone to see!
This workshop is part of the development of a new mural for Edgware that will be realised at 158 Station Road by Holly Graham as part of the 100 Years of Station Road celebrations. The artwork has been developed by public art organisation, UP Projects and commissioned by Barnet Council.

About The Edgware Mural
Artist Holly Graham has been selected to develop a mural located at 158 Station Road, a prominent location on the high street which will be launched in late 2023. The mural will be developed via extensive community engagement with young people local to Edgware who will be exploring what we can do today to inform what Edgware becomes tomorrow. This will focus on raising awareness of the climate emergency to inspire action to inform Edgware’s collective future, while reflecting on its past.
A mural working group consisting of representatives from TFL, Ballymore, Barnet Council, British BIDs and Stonegrove Community Trust has been assembled to support the ongoing development of the mural. The group will guide the process throughout offering guidance and advice on the artist selection, the ongoing engagement process and technical aspects relating to the production of the mural.
