UPFEST 2026 | What a truly mental day and incredible opportunity I’ve been given!! As an artist/art student from Bristol, this has always been a dream of mine and to say I have painted at Upfest is an absolute privilege and definitely not something I expected so soon!!

Thank you to @upfest for giving me this opportunity, I’m so grateful and actually still in shock!! Thank you to my family and friends for coming down and supporting me, I couldn’t be more lucky!! And thank you to Charlotte who I met today, who was absolutely lovely and settled my nerves, I was so lucky to paint alongside you!

Very sappy post LOL but genuinely so crazy and shocked that this was my day (and the fact we maybe saw Joseph Talbot from @idlesband milling around and I FREAKED out LOL)

Soooo… SURPRISE!!
I will be painting a small temporary board @upfest on the 23rd of May in the Tobacco Factory!!

This is such an UTTERLY CRAZY opportunity, I am genuinely so shocked, so grateful (and so scared LOL) to be able to be part of something so amazing I’ve aspired to be part of for as long as I can remember!
(Funny thing is I only applied so I would know the process for when I applied in the future LOL, I never expected this so thank you so much Upfest for this incredible opportunity!!!)

If you’re in Bristol on the 23rd of May, come along!! 🌸
