AUTHORISED BY HIGHWAYS AGENCY & AMEY IN ASSOCIATION WITH NTRPRNRS

NTRPRNRS (entrepreneurs) are a UK collective that represent the best street culture in the world.

We consist of various creatives from different backgrounds, We are built from Graphic Designers, Illustrators, Photographers, Web designers, Graffiti Artists, Dj’s, Producers and fashion conscious individuals. We established in 2008 and have been involved in many collaborations, commissions and plans of a creative nature.

We have been building an online presence via NTRPRNRS.COM to preview, promote, shout about, and review as much as possible of the world’s best street culture, both past and present. Since day one, we have had a firm ear to the ground in regards to local and international trends. Our passions for what we love as creatives have not strayed once, that said in particular our love of typography in design, shape and letterforms in graffiti have strengthened as the past 5 years have gone by. This has inspired us to act.

As many of the UK’s legal graffiti spots and Halls-of-Fame (particularly in London) have shut down due to the 2012 Olympics taking place and the Government switch up we have been busy in the background planning and crafting an area based in the centre of the UK (Stoke-on-Trent) to not only support such a creative scene but to keep it alive.

We are committed to change. This is just the beginning.

NTRPRNRS are proud to announce Stoke-on-Trent’s Hall-of-Fame.

ABOUT US

INFORMATION

The Stoke Hall-of-Fame has been carefully selected for several reasons. It’s location being the first. The Stoke Hall-of-Fame is located several miles away from the City Centre situated at an appropriate distance from any residential/commercial properties giving citizens the piece of mind that they’re neighbourhood isn’t going to be affected by any artwork and of course allowing complete freedom for any creatives visiting without any major distractions like at other legal areas. The second reason is to save and renew a misused space from any further actual distasteful vandalism, mainly that of a derrogatory or racist nature.

We intend on this area being a safe haven for any artists to use throughout the year. As it is a new project we must highlight the fact that in the centre of the underpass it is darker as there is currently no artificial lighting in place. We are looking to source funding to supply this, however for any planned events and jams that may occur, lighting will be hired as neccessary.

Please feel free to attend as and when you see fit.

Please read on for more information regarding the site, terms of use and directions.
