Amazing photos of Upfest in new book

By Aphra Evans  Tuesday Nov 29, 2016

Upfest is launching its latest book, Upfest II, to celebrate eight years as the largest live street art festival in Europe. It features more than 200 images showcasing the work of 150 artists from around the globe, including Bristol favourites Cheba, Jody and Cheo.

To mark the publication, 100 unique artworks are being created by some new and well known street artists to adorn the front of the first 100 copies of the book, 50 of which will be available to buy at the launch of the book at the Upfest gallery from 7pm on Friday, December 2.

The one-off versions will be created by artists who have previously attended the festival including Copyright, Dan Kitchener, Gemma Compton, Loch Ness, Lokey and My Dog Sighs.
