Following the success of their Stavanger editions, the team behind the internationally renowned Nuart Festival (Previously on Hookedblog) have invited 11 international street artists to bring a splash of colour to The Granite City over the Bank Holiday Easter weekend for their first UK edition, NuArt Aberdeen.
The UK edition has been developed in collaboration with both Aberdeen Inspired and the Aberdeen City Council, with the festival aiming to provide a platform for local, national, and international artists to showcase their works across the city.
