Another year, and another great leap forward for one of street arts now venerable festivals, Nuart. Held each year on the streets of Stavanger, Norway, with a roster of international artists creating public art in an idyllic west Norwegian town, this year also expanded the festival to not only include indoor installations, but a full academic focus on street art as a prevailing means of public art.

Outdoor works getting completed, indoor halls gettin the final touches, and Nuart is almost ready for a full show opening. The street pieces were coming out nice this year, with a few large murals and some great intervention projects going up around Stavanger, Norway. 

It is getting busy. Day two was an active one here in Stavanger, where Juxtapoz could walk around the town to catch numerous murals and street pieces taking shape and form. Ron English, How Nosm, Niels Shoe Muelman, and Eine had outdoor murals in progress, while Sickboy, Saber, Aakash Nihalani, Jordan Seiler and others worked out their indoor beer hall installations.

The work has begun in Stavanger, Norway for Nuart 2012, with the likes of How Nosm, Ron English, Aakash Nihalani, Jordan Seiler, Eine, and Sickboy getting to work on both their outdoor projects and indoor installations. We followed photographer Ian Cox as he captured some early scenes here on the west coast of Norway...

Juxtapoz is back in the lovely Norwegian coastal city of Stavanger for the 2012 edition of Nuart. This year, yours truly (aka Editor Evan Pricco) will be doing a little talking about street art and internet with fellow art editors Tristan Manco and RJ Rushmore of Vandalog, and we get to introduce Ron English at the screening of his Popaganda film. Look forward to our dispatches from the North.

Ron English, who is busy curating our November 2012 issue, just made the cover of The Stranger magazine, all in honor of the Elvistravaganza art show being held at the Bumbershoot festival, Sept 1–3.

There are many of us who can't get the confidence and will to takeover a billboard and re-insert a bit of truth into the public consciousness, but then again, we can't all be Ron English. Known to cleverly takeover over a billboard in his time, Ron and his Popaganda team are releasing mini-billboard prints, the first being "Breathe," on his site on Wednesday, August 29.

We love looking forward to a good bit of travel. Nuart 2012 is all set, and we are heading back out to Stavanger, Norway this year to take part in one of the world's premiere public art festivals. This year's lineup, including a little conference featuring Juxtapoz, will include Ron English, Saber, Hownosm, Eine, and others.
