Instagram picks: Bristol Street Art

We're challenging our followers on Instagram to tag us in the best photo of Bristol they've taken on a particular theme, and the latest theme was 'Bristol Street Art'.

Bristol's walls are alive with street art, from Bedminster and Southville to Stokes Croft and St Werburghs. There is edgy, thought-provoking, funny and inspiring street art to be found all across the city. In a city that bred Banksy, it's easy to see why it inspires new generations of incredible artists.

Many of these murals were painted for Upfest, Bristol's street art festival, due to be at the end of May, it is now postponed, but organisers are hoping for a rescheduled date later in the year (keep an eye on our social channels for the latest news!)

There were so many entries and we loved them all, so a huge congratulations to all the winning entries below... be sure to give them some love on Instagram and check out the artist pages too.
