New Website launch

Welcome one and all to the new Upfest website, since the launch of Upfest and our website back in 2008, we (the Upfest Team and our artists) have had a roller coaster of a ride, with Upfest - The Urban Paint Festival, growing from 50 artists in 2008 and the expected participation of 300 artists next year. With the growth of the festival we felt it was important to make our website more straight forward to use, and well, this is it.

In addition to our festival, we have been active at six other festivals during the festival season, taking around 50 artists to demonstrate their skillz at events such as Boardmasters Surf Festival, Nass Extreme Sports Festival and last month we ended the season at Freeze Snowboarding festival in London.

Show wise we have been working in London, Bristol and the Isle of Wight for the first time this year. The recent launch of the Upfest Gallery, 198 North Street, Bristol, has given Upfest a permanent home just a few meters from the main festival site and with solo and joint shows lined up for the next 12 months it's sure to be a busy period for the Upfest Team.

We would really appreciate your feedback on the new site, our aim was to make the site significantly more functional and images of artwork easier to view. If you would like to send us any feedback please email contact@upfest.co.uk , if you are an existing Upfest artist and would like to update your profile or image please email jake@upfest.co.uk.

We would like to wish all our Artists and customers a Merry Christmas and very much look forward to seeing everyone in 2011
