THE FESTIVAL

The festival Graffitea Cheste is part of the project of the Department of Culture of Cheste called “Cultural Agenda” that was born in 2016. 

The philosophy of the festival goes beyond making a series of mural interventions, the goal is to make a full day of culture and urban art. Counting on the classic mural intervention but adding in the days of the festival, lectures on art, stencil workshops and graffiti and as a final touch, explanation by an expert and the authors of the pieces made, in this way the public can establish a one-on-one dialogue with the artists.

During the days of each edition the selected walls for the festival are intervened. In the first edition they were walls ceded by the city council, but year after year they increase the cession of private walls of the neighbors of Cheste.
