The event to kick off Nuart’s official opening begins with the ‘opening’ of the ‘The Aftenblad Wall’ at 1700hrs. The wall is in collaboration with Stavanger Aftenblad newspaper and was launched last year, by Sandra Chevrier as a new public art initiative. The initiative invites artists to create work on a large-scale billboard in the heart of Stavanger. This is a permanent site for public art rather than a temporary billboard intervention. This years artist see Kennard Phillips take over the wall…
