Saturday 6th June 2009 @ Tobacco Factory, Grain Barge, Bridewell Island Police Station and View Art Gallery, Bristol

Bristol is internationally renowned for its wide range of cultural and vibrant street art pieces and that makes it the perfect venue for UpFest. The Urban Paint Festival returns to Bristol with over 150 contemporary urban artists travelling from across the globe to take place in what is set to be the largest ‘live’ art event in Europe this year. Following the staggering success of Upfest’08, the shows organisers have gone all out this year to make 2009’s festival even bigger and broader growing from one venue to seven!

The festival encourages a wide range of urban art styles including graffiti, stenciling, pasting and screen-printing but this year keep an eye out to for extra eccentric techniques like exploding paint and painting with remote control cars!

Once again the festival will raise awareness and support for the local charity NACOA (National Association of Children of Alcoholics).
