    Story

    We Are Bombsquad.

    We are a York-based non-profit community arts organisation passionate about street art and beyond. We aim to enrich the cultural landscape of our city whilst raising money for local charities. we are grassroots and authentic. We have decades of experience immersed in the art world between our core members. Bombsquad's culture has grown out of our love of art and our belief in its transformative nature for the communities in which it resides.

    With our previous projects, we managed to raise over £20000 for York Food Bank in 2022, and just short of £12000 for York Mind last year.

    This year we choose SASH (Preventing Youth Homelessness Together), a registered charity preventing homelessness in young people aged 16 to 25 throughout North and East Yorkshire.

    For our new project, we will occupy a four storey building in the centre of York with an exhibition of retrospective and contemporary spray paint culture, graffiti and street art, by internationally renowned contemporary and local street artists, featuring three galleries, a cinema room, artist shop and live DJ's.

    One floor of the exhibition will explore the history of York's graffiti and street art scene from the 1980's through to present day, with photography , video and press clippings from the exclusive archives of Keith Hopewell, alongside his new work. Also featuring three decades of paintings from artist James Jessop's collection, and one floor will welcome a selection of artists to paint a mural or create an installation. Last floor will host the shop and live DJ's, where we will be selling artworks from the exhibiting artists and more, with all profit from the sale being donated to SASH.
