Mooch 20th Anniversary

This month Mooch is 20 years old!

Started in 2002 with a business grant from the Custom House Regeneration project, (THANK YOU Graham Pilkington!) we went straight into working up ideas for public realm improvements in regeneration areas. The work expanded into sculptures, street furniture and creative community projects that shone a light on the positives in challenging neighbourhoods. Over the years we have been so grateful to work with many other creatives, organisations, clients and countless participants on defining a spirit of place and bringing the history of a location to life.

From beer mats to hoardings, steel sculptures to glow-in-the dark mottos, the artwork is as diverse as the places and people they serve. The themes also change, from memorials that mark tragic events, to projects that are pure fun, escapism, and creativity! Mooch has also succeeded in offering opportunities for emerging artistic talent to grow and gain experience in an industry that is a source of pride for so many of us.

Thank you to everyone who has shown Mooch support and we are very excited for what the future brings.
