ADD TO THE MAP

In order to keep this the up-to-date map of Christchurch street art, we need your help.

We want this website to be the most up to date map of street art in Christchurch. The more eyes we have around town, the better chance we have of making this happen. We're looking for new artworks that come up, old ones that are getting torn down or blocked from view.

How do we choose what art work to show on our website? We first ask ourselves, is this something the average person would stop and take a look at. If you're not sure whether to send in the image or not, send it in anyway.

When you share an image with Watch This Space Trust, (WTS) you agree that WTS:

Has the right to use your image on its website
Has the right to share your image with third parties
May choose not to include this image as part of the website

We're looking for images that:

The artist would want to share
Overview and detailed shots welcome
Before, during and after shots of work coming up or being torn down

Tell us about this work of street art.

How big is the wall? Please give us the dimensions of the wall so we can give the artist an idea of how big the space is.

If possible please attach a photo of the wall.

Most artists prefer to have creative freedom when creating their works, but could you give us an idea of what you are commissioning the mural for or what you hope to see in it? This will help us figure out which artists to get you in contact with.

Do you have a budget? Roughly how much have you put aside for the art work?

Does this project have a deadline?

Is there anything else we should know that will help us to connect you up with the right artist?

OFFER YOUR WALL SPACE

Are you located in Christchurch? Do you have a building or wall space you're not using? Local muralists, graffiti artists, and creators of street art are always looking for legal spaces and free walls to create their art work on. And it's not just local artists, but international, traveling artists who contact us too, looking for wall space when they pass through Christchurch. Help us to provide blank canvases and legal walls so we can continue to keep Christchurch looking vibrant and lively.
