Enjoy a splash of colour with Nuart walking tours
Nuart walking tours are a brilliant way to see Aberdeen, and the spectacular street art that adds a splash of colour to our cityscape.
The worldwide popularity of urban art has grown massively since the turn of the century and this is no small part due the Nuart Festival, held every year in Stavanger, Norway.
Since 2001 artists from around the world have adorned the city’s buildings with beautiful and diverse works that have garnered admirers from around the globe.
In 2017, Nuart spun off a new festival in Stavanger’s twin town of Aberdeen, Scotland. Each April, artists are invited to the city to work on permanent legal sites which contrast stunningly against the city’s grey granite buildings. An opening weekend of celebrations, talks and events is seen by many as a kickstart to the summer months ahead.
Where to find Nuart Walking Tours
Every Thursday at 6pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 1pm, Nuart Aberdeen hold free tours of the city centre’s street art. No matter what the weather. They are fun, interesting and packed full of gossip about the creation of the artwork and the artists behind them. They last about 90 mins. I you haven’t already, you should get yourself, your friends and family along to one soon and discover Nuart Aberdeen!
About POST
Kevin Mitchell and Chris Sansbury founded POST from a desire to cut through the noise. To share the great things that happen in Aberdeen. They therefore focus on community, culture and the interesting people of the city. The local artists, businesses and charities; photographers, musicians and entertainers; the people at a local level that make a positive impact on our city each and every day. So they use video, audio, writing and social media to amplify the voices in our community. To ultimately give a platform to Aberdeen folk to engage and tell their own stories.
Recent work includes interviews with We Are Here Scotland founder Ica Headlam; Paralympic gold medalist, Neil Fachie; Chef, an Aberdeen rapper who is pushing for success; an article by film director Mark Stirton about the state of high-rise buildings in the city; coverage of Nuart Aberdeen and TEDx Aberdeen, as well as coverage of British Art Show 9.
