The Nuart Aberdeen street art festival has returned for its 2026 edition, running from Wednesday through Sunday. Thirteen international artists are creating new murals and installations across the city, including the first indoor work at the historic Bon Accord baths, alongside pieces on the Chapel Street car park and North East Scotland College. A guide and walking tours help visitors locate both new and existing artworks.
The festival, which launched in Aberdeen in 2017, has become a significant cultural and economic driver for the city, attracting visitors and transforming its urban landscape. Its resilience, returning after a pandemic cancellation in 2020, and its engagement with local students highlight its role in community building, artistic inspiration, and promoting Aberdeen as a dynamic destination for public art.
