Hat Fair: Without Walls

Without Walls

Without Walls is a consortium of seven of the UK's most strategically significant street arts festivals, who have come together to develop and present work from a new generation of street artists.

In 2008 Without Walls has commissioned and supported 10 UK companies to produce new work, encouraged new artistic collaborations and present a tour of exciting new outdoor performances for the festival season.

The Without Walls partners are:

In the context of the 2012 Olympics to contribute to the development of a strengthened UK street arts sector so that the organisers of major national events will have, as their first option, every opportunity to call on companies and artists based in this country to deliver iconic, transformational moments.
