About Us
100% human-powered and hand-painted
In a fast-paced digital world, we make things worth looking up for: worth stopping, appreciating and sharing. Our work exemplifies our passion and time-honoured craft, delivering high-quality mural campaigns that cut through the noise and grip audiences’ attention.
Community and culture
We believe that art in public spaces has the power to transform communities. As part of our mission to Live in Painted Cities, we’ve helped create over 3,000 public art murals across the UK and beyond, including our Art For Estates programme and two editions of London Mural Festival.
Our Story
When Global Street Art started in 2012, we had one mission, a couple of laptops and a lot of energy. Since then, we’ve grown from a small room in Shoreditch to a globally renowned company. We have the same mission, more laptops, and a little grey hair.
It all began when Dr. Lee Bofkin, our CEO and Co-Founder, set off with his camera to shoot graffiti and street art around the world. (He put it all in a book, if you’re interested!) That’s how one man’s passion for street art developed into a global media agency. Following your passion is a great way to make sure you don't do what everyone else does. We win awards because of it.
Since our creation in 2012 we have:
Created over 3,000 pieces of public art. Donated thousands of cans of paint into community projects. Supported well over 1,000 artists…. and we’re on a mission to inspire over a million murals.
Our Artists
We work with a global community of talented artists, from established names to emerging talent. Our Lead Artists are some of the most skilled aerosol painters working today, and through our apprenticeship scheme, we’re training up the next generation of talent.
