It took 45 artists from across the world wielding 3,500 cans of spray paint a week to transform Nelson Street with street art. A record 50,000 people of all ages dropped in to see the buildings being covered in graffiti. We sent our cameraman to film the finished artworks. Take a look!

Police in Bristol are inviting members of the public to try their hand at Graffiti. Officers have set aside a wall in Nelson Street for people to have a go at some street art.
However they are reminding everyone that they must have permission to paint on buildings otherwise it's against the law. The See No Evil street art project is the largest in Europe.
