Street Art Festival "Hit the North" call out for participants

Community Arts Partnership and Seedhead Arts Hit the North festival ran for the third consecutive year this summer and as part of the street art celebrations CAP ran a community engagement programme in parallel.

Three youth groups from across Belfast have worked with street artists Friz, Emic and Re-Ink-Our-Nation to create pieces in their own communities, addressing local issues and giving the young people a voice.
