ABERDEEN Inspired has unveiled the city walls earmarked to be transformed into eye-catching Nuart murals next month.
And one of the highly anticipated locations, which could soon become the blank canvas for this year’s talented artists, is the car park at Aberdeen International Airport.

A world-class line-up of street artists will descend on the Granite City on June 8 to turn a number of buildings into vibrant works of art under the theme of “rewilding”.
These include the Primark building at Rennie’s Wind, Annan House on Poynernook Road, and walls on Flourmill Lane, Crooked Lane, Thistle Lane and Rose Street.
More locations will be announced in the coming weeks, with the city’s airport, the side of Atholl House and flats at Whitehouse Street possibly also in the pipeline.
Aberdeen Inspired is seeking planning permission for the identified walls, with more locations to be put forward to Aberdeen City Council in due course.
Adrian Watson, chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired, said this year’s art festival is promising to be “truly impressive”.
He added: “There is always a sense of anticipation about which walls are to be the blank canvases for the hugely talented artists Nuart Aberdeen attracts every year.
“I cannot wait to see what this year’s talented artists create for the people of Aberdeen and the transformation they will bring to these corners of the city.”
