"The only way to do this, is to inspire and encourage those without the privilege of a fine art degree or access to the arts, to have a go themselves."
"What we do have evidence for, is that the smaller, more human scale works - the stencils and paste ups and interventions - do have this effect."
"You could say that the ease of copying a Banksy stencil, which requires no more than a craft knife, a piece of cardboard and an idea, is the very foundation of this culture."
"At Nuart, we've always prided ourselves on not only showcasing the BIG names in muralism, but on also using the festival as a place to explore and experiment with new forms and ideas."
Nuart Aberdeen aims to be the first street art festival centered on poetry and text-based works. The festival seeks to balance the dominance of large murals with smaller, more accessible art forms. It encourages participation from those without formal art training, fostering the next generation of artists. Evidence shows that smaller works, like stencils and paste-ups, inspire others to create. The festival showcases established artists while also exploring new ideas and forms that engage with the community.
