When the artists ran out of boards, they hit the festival. Even the bins got peppered with Plimsoul’s paste-ups.

The Shambala Art Boards
@ Shambala Festival Thursday 21st – Monday 25th August.
Shambala is a truly unique and magical festival incorporating music, art, cabaret, kids, healing, crafts and campaigns.
Jibbering Art were hugely proud to arrange the Shambala Art Boards for the festival. Four huge triangular boards and canvas totalling over 1152sqft were erected outside The Dome Arena for the artists to work their magic on throughout the festival and they certainly did.
Showing creativity, fresh & cutting edge graffiti from some of the finest graf artists in the uk. Fluid, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, Junc, LL Brainwashed, Lucy McLauchlan, Mac1 (& Mac2, Mac’s son), Mark 2, Matt Watkins, Motorboy, Newso, Rowdy & Semor & Co & Sweet Toof all painted the boards in their own unique style. We were also delighted to have Faith 47 from South Africa to join us at the festival.
Not to forget Sickboy and his iconic temple, he had to battle rain, randomness and many, many questions from the general punters to make his temple a success. Pictures of his temple will appear shortly on this news page.
