Upfest 2017: Registration Open for Bristol’s Premier Street Art Festival
Posted on: 07 Feb 2017Europe’s largest gathering of graffiti and street artists will return to the streets of Bristol between the 29th and 31st July. Artist registration is now open.
Upfest is the urban paint festival which allows you to quite literally paint the town red. Last year, some 40,000 visitors descended on Bedminster to watch 300 artists do their thing, and 2017 is expected to be even bigger.
To ensure this is the case, its organisers are currently inviting applications of street artists and graffiti writers to take part. One of the major dates in Bristol’s summer calendar, the festival aptly celebrates the city’s culture of street art which has fostered great names like Banksy and Inkie.
