About Us

Exit 2000 ART AND DESIGN offer interior and exterior design and painting services to a variety of customers worldwide. We specialise in providing art and design work for the entertainment and leisure sector to domestic customers.

We can take on all kinds of art and design jobs. Sign writing, providing painted backdrops, permanent murals, stage-dress, i.e. ultra- violet backdrops, camouflage netting parachutes etc, or large-scale refurbishments of drab interiors.
We provide a comprehensive service, designed and produced by our own team to your specifications.

Animation
A lot of our development time is spent using photographic computer animation for corporate and private entrepreneurial advertising. We wish to establish a new, affordable method of distributing media to a target audience.

Airbrush Artwork
We specialise in airbrush work using ultraviolet paints which provide a more dynamic and light reactive effect to our artworks and to your environment. This finish really brings the image to life in a way that needs to be seen to be believed.

Our work to date has mainly been on the club, dance and music festivals scenes also film sets and theatre, erecting stages up to 50ft x 30ft, and stage dress. We also take part once a year in conjunction with other companies to create art work for hospitals, hospices, crèches, where the intensity of the paintwork really enhances a vibrant atmosphere. Our artists are highly flexible, and will produce ideas to suit the ambience and ambition of any business, professionally completed and competitively priced.

Artist Representation
We also subcontract other artists for 15% commission to our business for whatever work we may find you, for advertising your work on our website.
We like to market artists that have no qualifications, and are self taught (street art) - as we tend to find that most artists who have found their own style and their own way are much better at what they do and have a much more open mind to different ideas and concepts, in a nutshell they tend to be more creative.
We also take on artists work and turn them into posters, then the artist getting 15% commission on any sales.
If you have an original one-off painting you want to sell, we will take 15% commission.
We are seeking the reputation as a business that doesn't overcharge artists for their hard work and labour, and hope that word will spread through the art community, and that this is a new avenue for all artists to market their work.
Our business hopes to attract artists to work with us because our company only charges 15% commission.


Our staff have experience in working with groups at schools, youth clubs etc, organising holiday painting projects to school day and evening class projects, where the students have the opportunity to take away what they create.
