WoW's Artistic Policy
- To present and develop work from a new and emerging generation of street artists.
- To support and encourage artists who may not have had previous experience of street arts into the sector.
- To help stimulate new, surprising and engaging street arts collaborations between artists from different disciplines.
- To prioritise the development and presentation of work with culturally diverse and disabled artists.
- To work with established companies and artists who are keen to experiment and develop new approaches to their work.
- To draw on the consortium's considerable experience and awareness of international street arts to help provide new stimulus and opportunities for collaboration between UK and international artists.
- In the context of the 2012 Olympics to contribute to the development of a strengthened UK street arts sector so that the organisers of major national events will have, as their first option, every opportunity to call on companies and artists based in this country to deliver iconic, transformational moments.
