The keyword for the 2023 edition of Artown Festival is ​„Artivism”, permeating every category of the event: mural art, performances, and street art interventions. This year the theme of the mural art competition was collaboration: each artist chose a partner with whom to work together in creating something that channeled their internal truth, to allow the viewers to see, to hear, to experience their truth, to reflect on it and to get immersed into the beauty of the surrounding space. The mural art covers 3000 square meters of walls with incredible images, 37 artists worked on creating 19 murals. 

However, Artown is more than murals beautifying the city. Artown is transforming the entire town into an artistic experience: beside the monumental images blossoming on the grey blocks, at each step a new experience awaited the viewers. 50 street art interventions, realized by 25 artists/​artist crews, from 3 countries, took place. An open-air theatre performance, dj and live music in the Artown parc, workshops for young and old, jazz concerts, poetry readings, contemporary dance performance made this week a truly special, transformative experience for the artists and participants alike.

We are very proud to have contributed to this amazing experience, hopefully the photos will transmit the awesome vibe.
