ELEMENTS: Street Art Festival
Ouseburn & the East end, Newcastle
Established 2024

*Project Development & Producing

Building Culture is working with local artist Mark One87 and Project North East in bringing Newcastle’s first street art festival to the Ouseburn Valley in the East end of the City. The area is synonymous with street art and graffiti and calling on its rich heritage as Newcastle’s cultural quarter ELEMENTS will bring together local artists, community groups, businesses and visitors.

We’re actively working with the various surrounding communities to inform the event. This deeper, more embedded approach seeks to include voices not usually heard through these processes, creating more meaningful engagement.

Our collaborative approach sees us working with and supported by a host of local organisations, artists and community groups to create a high impact, colourful and energetic event, with year round legacy.

The festival will take place on August 3rd & 4th.

This project is part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
