ArtWalk 8

ArtWalk 8 has been completed, leaving its unique mark of modern art on Patras and on the whole country.

The 8th International Street Art Festival of Patras – ArtWalk 8 was completed with remarkable success this, year as well. The team of Art in Progress managed to offer color and optimism to a weary public area, both conceptually and esthetically. A total of 64 large-scale murals have been created in Patras during all the Festivals. The urban fabric of Patras has changed radically in the last 8 years, turning the city into an open museum of Modern Art with free access for all citizens of our city and for anyone interested in exploring the works with the help of our map and the material we have posted on the site such as the artists’ interviews.

Our everyday lives are changing rapidly. Artistic expression and public areas are being afflicted more than ever in modern times, but not in Patras. Here, against the difficult circumstances, modern art carried out its task in the best way possible. The artists and their works transported us to new, creative worlds, sending messages of historic memorial, extroverted solidarity and the hope of being able to keep our heads held high.
