WightFibre partners with local artists to revamp Ryde with new mural

Ryde Town is getting a vibrant makeover with the installation of a new community mural aimed at deterring anti-social graffiti.

The eye-catching mural can now be seen on the WightFibre cabinet located near the entrance of Co-op car park on George Street, adding a burst of colour and creativity to the area. The artwork is designed to transform the cabinet into a piece of public art.

Creating engaging murals
WightFibre has collaborated with Ryde Town Council and talented artists, Emma and Hollie, who have been commissioned to bring their artistic vision to the project.
