The London Paste Up Festival is back for 2022 with a series of new works spread across a variety of locations. Artwork has been provided from across the globe with well over 200 artists taking part.
Centering around the area of Brick Lane, it is already a popular spot for paste up and poster art. The locations that exist here already change all year round. A selection of smaller, mid size and sculptural pieces often being added.

Centre of the Paste Up Scene
As a centre for the art form, London has one of the most dedicated scenes around. Instrumental in putting on the festival, it is the local artists who have been compiling and pasting all the works sent in. Over the festival weekend they were available to visit and the spots will be there year round.
