UPFEST ’09 – URBAN PAINT FESTIVAL 2009

THE FLYER … by andy council.

THE PRESS RELEASE …
Upfest’09 – The Urban Paint Festival
Saturday the 6th of June
South Bristol’s – Tobacco Factory, Grain Barge,
Bridewell Police Station, the View Art Gallery

The Urban Paint Festival returns to South Bristol
on Saturday the 6th of June, 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 huge
success of Upfest’08 the shows organisers have gone
all out this year with the bold challenge of making
it even bigger and broader than ever.

Upfest encourages a wide range of styles of urban art
and this year will see a new set of upcoming, exciting
artists taking to the streets. Bristol, being known
for its wide range of cultural and vibrant street art
pieces, makes it a perfect venue as it has now embraced
the art form as a way of life.

Once again the festival will raise awareness and support
for the local charity with national coverage,
NACOA (National Association of Children of Alcoholics),
NACOA was founded to provide information, advice and
support for children of alcohol dependent parents and
people concerned for their welfare. There are almost
a million children living with an alcohol dependent
parent(s) in the UK today, many of them hiding their
problems, living in fear and without support. NACOA offer
this support through their free confidential helpline.
Call for help on 0800 358 3456

Alongside the 12 hours of live painting, art sale, kids area,
music and sunshine…. Upfest won’t be without its new a
dditions to the show either, with give it a go art areas,
big games, art and print stalls, urban dance nights and of
course the human beat-boxers. Upfest is just £4 to attend
all the locations throughout the day and you can be assured
you will not find a finer collection of artists anywhere
else this year. For up to date information please visit
our website www.upfest.co.uk
