One of Bristol's favourite events has taken place on the streets of South Bristol for the past 15 years. However, in order to celebrate its 15th anniversary this year, help is needed from loyal supporters.
Europe’s largest free, live street and urban art festival is pledging to raise £30,000 by April 10 in order for this year’s festival go ahead. The funds from the crowdfund will make up only a sixth of the budget, with the entire event costing over £180,000.
The crowdfund details the breakdown of costs as: "Security, First Aid, Welfare & Cleaning 31%, Materials & Equipment 28%, Artist Materials & Costs 21%, Insurance & Licences 8%, Marketing 7%, Administration 2%, Other Costs 3%". As well as this, the team is detailed "Upfest is made up of three staff members, three directors, twenty five year-round key volunteers and another sixty-plus helping out over the festival period… these are some of the most dedicated and hard working people going and we couldn’t do any of this without them."
