Europe’s largest street art festival, Upfest, will move to a biannual model, taking a break in 2023, following the rise in infrastructure costs.
After an incredible 2022 festival we have made the tough decision to not hold the festival in 2023 so we can focus attention into planning ahead for 2024 with another stellar line-up of artists.
Upfest is a highly anticipated event on Bristol’s cultural calendar which attracts over 50,000 visitors to the festival across the weekend. As one of the city's largest free-to-attend festivals, it is important to us that it remains a free festival for everyone to attend.
The Upfest team will focus on other projects and interventions throughout 2023 including artist exhibitions at their North Street Gallery, as well as getting a head start on 2024 planning.
Are you a business looking to enhance your surroundings or a creative agency, architect or property developer working with a client looking for something unique? Are you a homeowner or art collector wanting to bring a mural to your home? Then speak to our creative team.
Upfest has worked on multiple place making initiatives including the Bristol Hearts, In collaboration with We Are Plaster, Bristol Business Improvement District and Visit Bristol we designed and painted 374 socially distanced giant hearts across 3 sites in Bristol city centre for the #BristolTogether campaign. These hearts were to encourage and promote the safe reopening of our city after the lockdown of 2020.
We can work with you on your artistic project in a number of different ways - from concept and creative planning through to delivery - to create artworks that bring your vision to life and have the kind of impact you’re looking for.
