The festival has had exhibitions , but always had its headquarters there, the walls in and around Stavanger.

Map at top - lists location 1 - 9
(note: I've only found 2 so far by accident - will be on the search for more next week though?!)

Google map for NuArt Festival Tour link...
(note: OK--really long string there, if that doesn't work to get you to the NuArt Festival Map...
then go to their webpage/blog to find the original map link - it seems the box with the other map on the Aftenbladet newspaper article, up at the top of the article, is just marked with numbers 1 thru 9 & not much else?!)

Also note the Youtube Video at the bottom of the article - a video tour, from Sunday
(note: or I will post that video next - Yes, it's all in Norwegian...but you can still see the street art?!)

*Watch for more street art photos coming, if only it will stop raining, the clouds part, the sky clear blue with sun shining thru (I can dream, it may happen--but will I be there the minute or second that it does, that is always the question around here?!)

Mushroom Girl - Dolk Lundgren

Note: one of my fav of his - but think he's mostly got his street art in Bergen or Oslo or further up North Norway (or maybe Berlin or Barcelona or ??) but not in Stavanger, except for maybe when they had the NuArt Grafitti / Street Art Festival here (in 2007 or 2008 or ??)
