Will Redgrove is a London based muralist, community artist and educator.
Will was born in Hackney, growing up in the vibrant, multicultural community of east London. It is within this colourful and diverse environment that Will developed his passion for intercultural histories and shared identities.
He studied Fine Art at the University of the West of England, absorbing the energetic music and street art scene of Bristol and developing an understanding of the role of art within social movements and activism. Will returned to London where he would end up studying Typography and Graphic Design at UAL: London College of Communication.
Will uses collaborative and co-creative processes throughout his projects utilising workshops and group experimentation to develop ideas into a finished product.
"Having agency in the creation of public art, with a message that's genuine, creates shared identities, and improves community cohesion, self-efficacy and wellbeing. I want all my projects to have that legacy."
Will specialises in community engagement, working with a range of groups including students (KS 1-5 and further eduction), children and adults with SEND, hospice users and young offenders.
