Exhibition in Warrington could inspire graphic T shirts

22/03/2010

You might not associate Warrington in the north-west of England with street art but a local museum has been trying to change all that.

The Warrington Museum and Art Gallery hosted a five-month exhibition featuring works by a number of international street artists.

Now, the gallery has revealed that four of the urban artists involved in the project have donated some of their pieces to the museum for a permanent display.

So, if you want to see some work by the likes of Elbow-Toe, Swoon, Candice Tripp and Lorraine Robbins then you'll find it in Warrington.

According to the local council, the artists were impressed by both the exhibition itself and the response from the public.

Who knows, it could even inspire the people of Warrington and Cheshire to don some graphic T shirts featuring some of the artwork.

Fans of urban art will no doubt be heading to cinemas this month to watch Banksy's debut movie Exit Through The Gift Shop, which is being screened at select cinemas around the UK.
