Last legs Community Arts Organisation. Not for profit. Building Creative partnerships with community members.
We love working with Club2Go. Fantastic and dedicated people who offer activities to young people in areas where there is little or no access to arts and sports during the holidays.
The young participants love the Posca pens that were kindly donated to us by POSCA earlier this year
All the signs and boards we use are made from recycled cardboard or wood

On the 20th July we participated in the Spare Part Festival funded by Left Coast as part of Tram Sunday in Fleetwood.
Mr Dee worked on a live graffiti paint starting at 12.30
We would like to thank Sandra at Shabby2Chic for driving us and all our boards wood and cardboard to the Festival and picking us up at the end of the day. A big Thank You Sandra.

Subway cars  for people to add their own graffiti to
The build when we arrived with all the pieces
As  part of the live paint event Mr Dee with the help of our photographer Lee Hodgkiss and our new organisation member David Jennings we created and built 2 small subway cars on wheels that later joined the Tram Sunday parade.
Boz Phillips set up a workshop for  or should I say ‘put out paint all day’ for enthusiastic children , parents and members of the public to paint the subway cars with their graffiti.
The subway cars were a big hit thanks to Mr Dees’ ideas and Dave and Lees help.
Everyone loved the opportunity to decorate the cars from 12 noon until 3.30 Â when the parade commenced.
See for yourself the participants work below.
Decorated inside and out
Then we joined the parade
UDP dance members took the photo opportunity after some of their members added name to the trains
Mr Dee created a graffiti art piece for  Breakin Convention in Blackpool.
The end of a perfect painting day – about 10.30 pm
We work with Shabby2Chic because they support people in our community to achieve their aims of finding skills and employment. Through Sandra’s dedication to recycling and supporting the people most in need in the community to make Blackpool a better place to live and work.
We recently worked with Sandra on workshops with young people who produced the following ‘Shabby chic’ items. We could not post until now as one item was made for a wedding present.
Finished pieces

We took a selection of art works spray painted by young people from Blackpool, to the Grand Theater for the Breakin’ Convention show on the 2nd June. We cut out the painted signs to create a series of art works for display at the Grand Theater.
