The Glass Bridge artwork is an ambitious project to adorn the Poplar DLR station footbridge crossing from Blackwall to Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs. the Bridge links the poorer regions of Blackwall with the splendid riches of canary wharf and the business sector therein. Our artwork involves people from both areas working on the same artwork with the same materials, paintbrushes and largely the same ideas.
The finished artwork will be transferred to vinyl and installed in the Bridge in November.
We are also preparing to paint a mural in a local hotel, make a play and run art clubs.
As part of our capacity building role we are using art as a tool or devise to build confidence and skills in young and older people.

OVERVIEW
The SPLASH Community Arts programme works with children, young people and families in order to build bridges between different age and ethnic groups. It has developed an innovative programme for children with special needs.
The programme works across all the estates in Blackwall, working in collaboration with the SPLASH Children and Young People's programme (Youth programme) and with the SPLASH Community Development programme.
ABOUT US
SPLASH Arts are a small, but innovative team within SPLASH.
We provide art activities for young and old.
SPLASH Arts currently run 4 art clubs;
One for older people where the focus is on painting techniques - in particular water colours - we are currently painting pictures of sights in Malaysia.
Another is a sewing club where the participants are making dresses for social occasions.
We also have 2 clubs for children, who are currently making films or a video. They also like drawing and painting.
Our clubs and activities provide a diversion from the negative things in life and an avenue to the better things. like learning skills, being creative and socialising.
