Full Colour Maindee Festival

Full Colour Maindee Festival brings spray cans, ladders and scaffolding onto the streets of Newport, and turns the area into an open air gallery. Local and visiting artists work in front of whoever wants to watch, while music, street food and a drink keep the day moving around them. It is a community led festival that has been quietly reshaping how Maindee looks and feels, one wall at a time. These images follow the artists at work, the pieces taking shape, and the people who stopped to watch them.
