ABOUT OPEN CALL - INTERNATIONAL STREET ART COMPETITION
This project focuses on Street Art, which is nowadays considered as an outdoor museum - an ideal window for knowing a certain city in terms of its culture, it's history and vibe. We hope that with our activities, our participants have the chance of seeing different aspects of Street Art and the colours and vitality that it brings to our city. We are looking forward to work of arts from our little artists, who try to describe some city and express his or her feeling towards that city, which could be his/her hometown or somewhere he/she traveled to.
This is an Exhibition and Competition that will give kids the opportunity to have their Street Art exhibited in three big cities in Europe: Paris, Berlin and Brussel!
The winner of the competition will have their work be printed into a collection book and have the opportunity to be invited together with popular Street Artist to co-produce and have their work hosted in an international Exhibition in China next year!
