We are excited to announce that BSA will be part of the exhilarating ‘Hit the North’ 2024 festival in Belfast! We look forward to meeting friends, artists, and masters of the aerosol realm in beautiful Northern Ireland.

Hosted by Seedhead Arts, ‘Hit the North’ is celebrated as NI’s biggest street art festival. This year marks a milestone—the festival’s 12th birthday—and it promises to be the most impressive edition yet. The festival is set to showcase an inspiring collection of 50 local, national, and international artists, and the main action unfolds on Union Street and Kent Street.

The festival’s impact has nurtured Northern Ireland’s street art scene, welcoming over 200 artists from around the globe and integrating NI’s rich cultural heritage for mural art into the modern era. We are particularly excited to see how the addition of street art has changed Belfast and to explore how the city blends its proud history of mural art with this international movement of graffiti, street art, and mural art festivals.

The ten-day celebration will culminate in a ‘paint jam’ on Sunday, 12th May, with live entertainment, food trucks, and refreshments, all while watching stunning murals come to life. Over the past 12 years, ‘Hit the North’ has played a pivotal role in the rejuvenation efforts of the North Street area and has significantly influenced the local street art scene.
