Andy Dice Davies, also known by Dice67, has been commission to paint murals at the front and rear of Cavendish House, which closed at the beginning of 2026 and has since remained vacant.
The building's owner, Canada Life, confirmed the closure in January 2026 after traders occupying spaces in the historic Cheltenham building revealed on social media that notice had been served to them .
Canada Life subsequently reported it had closed the building ahead of planned development at the site, beginning with the removal of the link bridge with Regent Arcade, which is also owns.
Cheltenham Borough Council announced in March 2026 that it had put enforcement action in place and removed pop-up tents and occupants who had taken shelter in the building's doorways.
While these doorways have since been boarded up, Dice67 has been charged with bringing the spaces to life using his artistic flair and skills for working on large spaces.
Still being completed at the time of publishing, one of Dice67's Cavendish House works depicts a Cheltenham scene with references from across the decades; a woman can be seen looking at a smart phone while a horse and carriage trots down the street and an elegantly dressed man rides an electric scooter.
While another work boldly celebrates 'We love Cheltenham' with large writing and an iconic scene showing off Cheltenham's architecture.
The organiser of Cheltenham Paint Festival, Andy's street art career began while he was working as a teacher for young adults with learning difficulties – helping them upcycle furniture with a Banksy-style twist, soon after giving a local bus stop a new lease of life. Within a few years, he went from stencilling to painting freehand murals in spray, acrylics, masonry and household emulsions.
He has painted the Sky Arts Studio, Arsenal Football Club and portraits for the bands Killing Joke and The Stranglers as well as many more.
