As part of the Meridian Water Community Chest funded programme, Residents of Edmonton Angel Community Together (REACT) partnered with local architects Fisher Cheng in order to deliver the Fore Street ‘Open All Hours’ Street Gallery.

The project completed in early 2024 and has uplifted and reinvigorated the high street and surrounding areas by creating a gallery of outdoor artworks on security shutters, council owned bins and walls.

The artworks were developed through engagement between local artists, businesses and the community, facilitating a sense of local pride.

The shutter artworks have enlivened the night scene by bringing colour and interest to combat existing feelings of unease and a lack of safety, during hours of business closure.
