The not for profit event is purely dedicated to street art, in all its forms. It is one of the oldest official "street art" festivals in the world and invites many national- and international artists. The pieces are permanent (and legal) installations in the city landscape.

Nuart consists of a series of citywide exhibitions, events, performances, interventions, debates & workshops surrounding current trends and movements in street art.

Nuart Plus is an associated industry and academic symposium dedicated to street art.

Nuart RAD is an associated, local government initiated street-art project in Oslo.
