Outdoors Type was established in April 2019 as a creative outlet; formed to engage and collaborate with communities, organisations, schools and businesses.
The mission is to rejuvenate shared and public areas in and around Dundee, by means of lettering art.
A positive mindset
Painting and lettering life enhancing messages which can positively alter thoughts and actions. Providing purpose and boosting self esteem for viewers and everyone who wants to participate.
The care for our environment
Highlighting the responsibility of each of us, as stewards of our planet. Reminding us to consider choices made every day, which will affect the areas in which we all share.
Community values
Responsibly collaborating with groups and individuals, of all ages and from all backgrounds. Helping to build pride for communities and enable a sense of ownership.
Regenerating shared and public spaces
Enhancing walls, fences, windows, pavements. On and around community buildings and open spaces, industrial property, unoccupied shops, units and warehouses.
Painted panels, porous bricks, galvanised doors and sea shell walls.
