To coincide with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, a team of six incredible street artists has teamed up with Manchester City BID to create a city-wide street art trail featuring the beloved characters hidden around the town, including a spot at Great Northern.
Fans of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo can hunt in Manchester’s nooks and crannies to find various depictions of the gang, rendered in unique hand-painted artwork that maches the new, distinctive style of animation in the movie. Eagle-eyed TMNT-lovers can find the boys doing some of their favourite activities, including skateboarding, ninja tricks and gorging on pizza.
A team of six street artists Woskerski, Brezaux, Captain Kris, Oust, Reves One and Sidok, part of the Blank Walls artist collective, created the mini-murals over six days around the city taking a total of 192 hours and using 448 cans of paint.
The artwork will be on display until 15th August, so hit the streets and see if you can find the turtles at their best.
The full list of locations are:
● Exchange Square tram stop
● Spinningfields
● Great Northern
● Police Street
● First Street
● Circle Square
● Projekts MCR – created by Jim Vision
There will be QR codes at each site leading to a map of the trail and all its contents.
