Join us for this year’s exciting debut series of guided street art tours taking in the new works and hosted by members of the Nuart team.

 

Our Official Nuart Street Art Walking Tour’s take you through 7 years of Nuart Aberdeen artworks along with exploring Nuart Festival’s impressive Street Art history. This tour will focus on work located in the East end of the city, check out our West end tour as well!

 

Street Art is without doubt the most exciting development in visual art for decades: A movement that has caught the imagination of many and continues to enrich our cities. Learn about the roots of the movement – from Situationism and graffiti to stencil art and muralism – and take in work from an array of world-leading street artists operating across the spectrum of Street Art.

 

Over the course of our 90 minute walking tour you’ll hear about the artists behind the murals and how the finished works came to be. Our expert tour guides will speak about each of the art works on the tour, how they were created and the stories that inspired them. You’ll also hear stories from behind the scenes at the festival to give you a better idea of what Nuart Aberdeen is all about.

 

With work that explores local history, current politics and numerous social issues, Nuart Aberdeen creates a lot of great talking points while also adding world class art to the cities streets. Accessible to both locals and visitors, the street art trail will help you explore Aberdeen in a fun and creative way and we’re sure by the end of the tour you’ll agree – Beauty is in the Streets!
