End of an Era. Council Close The Arches. Nottingham.
After a couple of unsuccessful trips down The Arches under Lady Bay Bridge in Nottingham, I finally found the place open and unlocked recently and caught up with respected artist Alert.
Alert was very vocal in his disappointment that the piece he was working on would be his last down The Arches. The Arches has been a legal graffiti spot for years but now has the threat of being closed down due to conflicts in the Council, something Alert is fearful will take artists like himself away from legal sites and back into the realm of running outside the law.Word is that a petition is being organised to try to change minds and keep the site a safe and legal spot for artists, as soon as I get a shout I’ll give you all the link and hopefully help gather enough support to keep the site open.
In the mean time, here’s a few pics for your pleasure.
