Over the last week we have seen the transformation of one grey and neglected city street in the heart of Bristol into what is now the biggest permanent street art project in Europe. Artists from all over the globe descended on Nelson St for See No Evil, a week long urban art and music festival. It was a great weekend, the weather was mostly dry and the crowds were large. As far as we could tell everything went off without a hitch! Hopefully the council will see the benefits that these kinds of events can bring to our city and we will have more projects like See No Evil in the future! It has helped to reinforce Bristol's reputation as a centre for graffiti and street art. Well worth checking out if you couldn't make it down over the weekend!

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past month you will have probably heard about See No Evil. A week long free street art and music event taking place on Bristol's Nelson Street from August 15h - August 21st. Featuring some of the best known street artsits and writers from around the world, this will be the biggest permanent street art project not only in the UK but all of Europe. Artists taking part include Inkie, El Mac, Mr Wany, Shoe, Aryz, Sickboy and Tats Cru, with more to be announced! Bristol is already renowned worldwide as a centre for graffiti and street art and this event will add to that growing reputation, transforming the usually drab, tired and grey looking Nelson St. into a vibrant and interesting road. Not only will there be some amazing artwork going up but also club nights and music from some of the regions best promoters. On Saturday 20th there will be a free outdoor party from 12pm 'till 9pm with 3 stages, five bars and live painting and tattooing, workshops, food stalls and street performances. It's set to be absolutely wicked event so it's definitely worth a trip down. We'll see you there!
