For the ninth straight year, BSA will bring Nuart to our readers – artists, academics, collectors, instructors, curators, fanboys/girls, photographers, organizers, all. Not sure who else has been covering this international Street-Art themed outdoor and indoor festival as early and continuously as we have, but we’re happy to say that this Norwegian pocket of public art continues to hold its own among a suddenly bloated field of new festivals and events globally.
As the artists are arriving into Stavanger and Tor Ståle Moen awaits patiently at the airport for Evol, Axel Void, Add Fuel, and Jeff Gillette to touch down, poor Fintan Magee has been chased off of his towers by wild rains and forced inside the beer halls at Tou Scene to start his installation for next weekends big opening.

Meanwhile French duo Ella and Pitr have just completed their third visit to Norway in the past year, a two week collaboration with a commune on Utsira Island about 4 hours drive north of Nuart.
After painting the “world’s largest outdoor mural” at last years’ Nuart, the adventurous illustrators have created site-specific works with the Utsira Kommune and Nuart and they have gifted Norway’s smallest municipality with one of their signature roof characters and wall paintings, along with an exhibition of drawings at Dalanaustet Café.
