A MAN who came up with idea of covering a Bristol street with art will help pay for it out of his £72,000 annual salary, the Evening Post can reveal.
See No Evil will see Nelson Street in Bristol city centre transformed next week, when some of the world’s biggest street artists repaint the large, grey buildings with colourful murals.
Organisers hope it will become Bristol’s next big tourist attraction, as a similar set-up in Melbourne, Australia, attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year.
