Leicester’s International Street Art Festival
BRING THE PAINT WILL BE BACK...
The award winning Bring the Paint International Street Art Festival was established in 2017.
This immersive event played host to an array of activities including live artworks, skateboarding, breakdancing, BMX, live music and exhibitions.
Artists from all over the world came together to showcase an impressive wealth of talent which has gone on to serve as inspiration for further artistic activities within the city of Leicester. A platform of creative collaboration on a monumental scale Bring the Paint delivered beyond expectations.
2027 marks the tenth anniversary of the first BTP so plans are underway fro something very special.
