Photos from the December 15th opening of Permission to Paint at London's Leonard Street Gallery. The show features new works and installation by German graffiti duo Herakut as well as new works and installation by British artist Luc Price. Permission to Paint is on view until January 11th. More...

London's Leonard Street Gallery dropped us a line to let us know about their various recent endeavors, and now we're passing the savings on to you! No, but seriously, the gallery has been up to some great shenanigans over the past few months like an installation by Elbow-Toe, an exhibition by Matt Small featuring a public artist talk where he discussed his painting process and the subjects of his art, and the release of a limited edition signed catalogue from the Matt Small show, 100 of which featured an original artwork by Small in the rear inside cover. And on December 14th, Permission to Paint opens which features new works by Herakut (the graf duo of Hera and Akut) and a collaboration with Luc Price. Leonard Street Gallery's heating up as we move into the new year, so you Londoner's should keep your eyes peeled for all the good good they'll be bringing your way.

Logan Hicks went to the Nuart Festival in Stavenger, Norway and brought us a bunch of photos from the museum opening night and pre-show prep with Eine, Blek le Rat, D*Face, Nick Walker, Word To Mother, Akut, Hera and a few other illustrious streetart folks.

When was the last time you thought to yourself, "Damn, I wish I was in Norway."? How about now? The NuArt Festival, a celebration of contemporary urban art and street culture, begins on Thursday, September 6th in the chilly hamlet of Stavengery, Norway. The festival, going into its sixth year, is a crazy mash-up of gallery and street art that takes over the town. Artists from all over the world come to display their work in the Rogaland Kunstmuseum and on the streets. Businesses and residents donate their walls for the artists to work on and the gallery runs a show of the work created during the festival. Basically the town becomes one big gallery show for fans of street art to meander through. The idea of an entire town coming together to support a renegade art form warms our hearts. This year the festival will feature AROFISH, BLEK LE RAT, D*FACE, NICK WALKER, M-CITY, LOGAN HICKS, DOLK, SIXTEN, RENE GAGNON, CHARLES KRAFFT, HERAKUT, EINE, KNGEE, WORDTOMOTHER, P
