In 2024 five writers from The Outsiders Project were commissioned to produce creative writing texts as part of of BCP’s costal public art programme. This year each writer was paired with a local visual artist for the commission, where the artists have created bespoke murals inspired by the Outsiders’s poetic words.
You can find the murals along and around Boscombe beach. Exact locations in the link below.
