Make Bangor Great Again

https://gofund.me/83815d7d

Hello, friends and Art enthusiasts! I’m Johnny Hamilton, known in the art world as Jossiepops, a mural artist based in Northern Ireland. With your support, I aim to revitalise the City of Bangor by transforming its tired, blank walls into vibrant, inspiring murals that everyone can enjoy.

About Me:

My journey back into art began back at school but was reinvented amidst the global pandemic, rekindling my passion for creativity. I've since dedicated myself to bringing colour and life to the streets of Northern Ireland, with notable projects including murals of Gerard Butler, Liam Neeson and local legends Foy Vance and Gary Lightbody. My art is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a sense of community and pride in our city.

The Vision:

Bangor is a beautiful city with a rich history, but some of its walls have seen better days. I envisage a Bangor where every corner is a gallery, where each mural tells a story, sparks a conversation, and brightens someone's day. A place known as ‘The City of Faces’
Your support will help me:

Transform Urban Spaces: Turn dull, lifeless walls into stunning, portrait pieces.
Celebrate Local Culture: Highlight Bangor’s unique heritage and community spirit through creative expressions.
Foster Community Pride: Create spaces that locals and visitors alike can appreciate and enjoy.
Inspire Future Artists: Encourage budding artists by showcasing the power of public art and supporting them along the way.
