Collaborative Painting UK

My name is Luke Palmer and I am an artist and educator from Bristol. I have a background in street art and graffiti using the name Acerone since the mid 1990s.

I have been involved in youth education as a youth worker, lecturer and tutor in community and mainstream settings and continue to use art as a way to engage with people. In 2018 i set up Collaborative Painting UK, a social enterprise working with artists, business professionals and young people.

I facilitate workshops, training and events that bring groups of people together to explore new methods of communication through creative arts activities and challenges. I host training sessions and away-days for business professionals, engagement and enrichment sessions for young people and community groups, and collaborative practice events and exhibitions for contemporary artists and creatives.

All proceeds generated by CPUK are used to fund arts in health programmes for young people and community groups.
