in Thessaloniki from 20st to 29th September
For this project 35 urban artists from all over Europe gather for nine days to take part in the UrbanArtVentures Project. Organised by Jugend- & Kulturprojekte e.V., the project wants to revitalise public space in Thessaloniki.
Most of the time, the population of big cities have no influence on their urban environment and landscape which surrounds them every day. However, through street art, the local population can contribute to the development of these and therefore take part in the cities' community and cultural life.

During the ERASMUS+ project, the urban artists will exchange their knowledge, techniques and experiences in order to grow artistically. The final goal is a one-day urban festival for the local people of Thessaloniki. Everybody can take part in workshops on how to create stencils, 3D-graffitis, street installations and art interventions. Furthermore, there will be street perfomances and art installations. Through this, the project can promote active participation and respect for the other as well as for public spaces.
