WALLZ 2020
The first year of the WALLZ street art festival brightened the sunny summer Pilsen even more. From August 17 to 22, 11 selected public locations became both a canvas and a stage for recognized domestic and foreign artists.
Right in front of your eyes, traditional writers and subsequent authors who develop street art and graffiti in other directions conjure up their works.
Remember how the first year of the successful Street Art Festival WALLZ took place:
The face of the WALLZ festival is Michal Škapa aka Tron, one of the most important authors of the Czech graffiti scene. Škapa belongs to the strong generation of "writers" of the 90s, he has dozens of exhibitions and hundreds of art projects to his credit. He became a pioneer of so-called murals (huge street art paintings) in the Czech Republic. Among his most recent projects is KOSMOS at Václav Havel Airport in Prague, which became one of the largest murals in Central Europe.
WALLZ will also feature 8 Czech and foreign street art artists - X-Dog, Jakub Janovský, the well-known Brno artist TIMO, Akrobad and Obras from Pilsen, as well as Ruin and Skirl - famous creators from Austria or successful Zbiok from Poland.
Colorful street art performances will be complemented by an equally varied accompanying program. You can look forward to a graffiti jam or a street art workshop for children. The entire festival will end with the opening of a joint exhibition of all participating artists at DEPO2015 with DJs and dancers on 22 August from 18:00.
