ARTIST CALL OUT : Secret Walls x NASS Festival

Secret Walls are proud to announce we will be at NASS Festival this year and are looking for new talent to take to the stage and battle.

We are recruiting eight up-and-coming artists to pick up their pens represent Secret Walls on Saturday 15th July. Supported by two all-star team captains: Tim Vee and Darren John from Secret Walls x London teams, who will guide their teams to creating the best battle piece with only black markers and paint to knock the other team out of the water.

To be in with a change to take to the stage as a Secret Walls team member we need your sketches! Draw us your best battle piece on the theme of ‘Skate and BMX’ using black pen only and send it to studio@thesecretwalls.com with your name, age and artist name.

Our two Secret Walls team leaders will select 4 artists each to form their teams and email selected artists in the first week of July. All applicants must be aged 16 and over and able to make their own way to NASS Festival on Saturday 15th July.

Black Book Battles x McBess

Last weekend saw the second instalment of Secret Walls’ Black Book Battles, at the Book Club in Shoreditch, hosted by McBess.

The Black Book Battles started last month in an event hosted by Hicks. The intimate event is part of a mission to find new artistic talent and to get artists used to the battle format. The two hour session had everyone doodling and battling against one another under the guidance of Secret Walls veteran McBess.

The next event is Saturday 25th of May and will be hosted by Conzo. Tickets can be found here, so if you’re an artist who fancies getting involved in Secret Walls this is a great way to get to know everyone.
