Weston-super-Mare will once again become the home of street art when the team behind Upfest, Europe’s largest street art festival, heads to the coast for the return of Weston Wallz. After the successful launch in September 2021, Upfest has once again partnered with Weston-super-Mare Town Council and Culture Weston, with the latest murals set to be painted in the seaside town from July 23-31.
Armed with sunscreen, spray paint and brushes, the artists for the second edition of this initiative have officially been confirmed. Some of Europe's finest street artists will be heading down to the seaside to unleash creativity on Weston’s most iconic buildings and landmarks.
This year, visitors and residents alike can see the talents of Insane51, who is travelling from Athens, alongside UK and local artists like Aspire, Caryn Koh, Curtis Hylton, Sian Storey, TeaOne, Vee, Acerone, Bev G Star, Bex Glover, Damien Jefferies, David Puck, Emily Joy Rich, Sophie Long and Paul Monsters making their mark on the coastal town with their unique and signature styles. These brand new murals will join the current artworks on Weston’s street art trail.
