Upfest • Street Art Graffiti Festival , by Star&Garter on Jan 3, 2014 20:02:59 GMT 1, Sad it's missing a year but sure it will be back bigger than every in 2015, hopefully "See No Evil" will return this summer to at least give Bristol one event this year.

Upfest • Street Art Graffiti Festival , by Karl Read on Jan 3, 2014 22:12:43 GMT 1, Gutted it's not on this year. Was just thinking about it last week actually, thinking about painting there this summer. Like others of said, a well deserved break and I'm sure everyone can't wait till the Upfest 2015.

Upfest • Street Art Graffiti Festival , by UpFest on Jan 4, 2014 0:38:30 GMT 1, Hey all,
Thanks for all the kind comments, the team appreciates everyones understanding, it's been an amazing six years and yes we never thought back in 2008 that we would need to take a year off because it has got so big...
Feralthings, the total for our nominate charity Nacoa - The National Association for Children of Alcoholics is over £25k (around 27k we think), equally the festival has raised the profile of charity and the lengths they go to support kids effected by alcoholism within the family. Like us they're not anti-drinking, just the effects of excessive or daily drinking can have on family life.
If anyone has they're favourite photos from Upfest over the years it would be great to see...

Upfest • Street Art Graffiti Festival , by Agent Provocateur on Jan 4, 2014 13:16:38 GMT 1, Congratulations on everything you've achieved over the last six years; I can completely understand why you'd need to take a breather for a year. Just out of interest, do you know how much you've raised for charity over the years? how's about trying to get hold of that huge derelict building right by the station!? Would look great dripping in paint. See No Evil tried to get the building for the SNE2013 and didn't get anywhere unfortunately. It would be a far better first sight for people arriving in Bristol on the train if it was painted but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. There's some fantastic work inside but it's been almost untouched since 2005-ish due to the 'enthusiastic' on site security. Here's some Sickboy from back in the day:

The top one is also Richt (the pointy mountain bits in the Mr Jago piece) and the second one is 45RPM (with shout outs to Cheo and Soker). Your turn to correct my mistakes now...

Upfest • Street Art Graffiti Festival , by UpFest on Apr 5, 2014 16:57:49 GMT 1, Did you really think Upfest would be sitting back and having a relaxing year off from festivals? No chance, by taking a break from our annual festival, Upfest has freed up some time to get involved with some new exciting projects; top of the list is Upfest @ Volksfest!
