The Theme Poem – Food Bowl. ”Sheffield’s purpose built Mural Park is an ideal venue for this unique art competition and one which tests the skills and stamina of the artists as they contend with whatever weather conditions prevail”, Mural Fest Event Team member Julie Hargreaves said. "There is usually a strong camaraderie between the artists, even though they are competing against each other for the top prize. However, each finalist has already won their place in the week long paint-off, getting through the first round of selections based upon their miniature submissions of the final mural paintings.” Paint-off takes place Easter week 2012. 8th April – 14th April.
