ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Starting in 2020, every year for one week in June, Pilsen will be engulfed in a flood of colors during the WALLZ street art festival. The successful project aims to develop quality art in the public space of the city. It brings to Pilsen the star names of artists of the world graffiti scene, who leave their murals, i.e. large-scale paintings, at about ten locations throughout the city every year.

 

With their artistic interventions, artists try to cultivate the often unsightly surfaces of various objects, from residential houses, which are reported to the project by the owners themselves, through the technical objects of the city to noise protection walls or entire streets. During the several years of the festival, not only did localities throughout Pilsen looks better, but also the residents' awareness of art in public space and the perception of its importance rose significantly. And that is the greatest joy.
