Artists from all over the world descended on the streets of Aberdeen last week to transform walls into works of art for Nuart.

The 2023 edition of the festival featured the addition of 12 stunning new murals, with some creating a treasure hunt around the city centre.

Thousands of people ventured into the Granite City over the past four days to take part in walking tours, workshops, debates and events, including Chalk Don’t Chalk where hundreds of children “injected a pop of colour” at Marischal College.

Although the four-day festival is over, all of the impressive artwork will remain in place to brighten up the city and be enjoyed by the public.

Here’s a short video showing some of this years works being made.
