I went along to see progress on the Elevation Mural Festival, which is transforming North Shields into a vibrant, open-air art gallery.
Throughout August, eight large-scale murals are being created by some of the UK’s most exciting street artists – changing the face of North Shields as part of the 800th anniversary celebrations.
Thanks to Elevation the local arts charity and all the artists involved in this unique project. Find out more at https://elevationcio.com/
