In pictures: Bristol's street art festival

  • Published

Artists from all over the world have been taking part in a major street art festival in Bristol, painting walls, hoardings, shop shutters and camper vans in front of crowds.

Much of the art created at Upfest is painted on temporary hoardings, but murals on some venues - such as the Tobacco Factory and Red Point climbing centre - remain year-round until the next festival.

Crowds watched 275 artists from 25 countries painting during live shows over the weekend. A family day is being held on Monday.

Among artists taking part are Inkie, My Dog Sighs, Gamma, Lonac and Dutch duo Telmo Miel.
