Artscape is an organisation that seeks to inspire people and promote public art for everyone. Artscape 2014 in Malmö was Sweden’s first ever international street art festival and the positive response to it has paved the way for more participants within street art. Together with the City of Gothenburg’s department of Culture the festival is in full preparation – this is the first time a city of the size of Gothenburg contributed with all districts in a similar project.
“We have worked on this project for about two years now and it’s going to be amazing to see it all fall into place. Gothenburg is an exciting city with so much potential. This feels like the perfect way to take Artscape to the next level” Daniel Wakeham & Tor Hedendahl, Artscape.
Both digital and printed maps will be developed so that locals and tourists can easily visit all the works of art across the city by tram or bicycle. Amongst all the artwork there will also be panel discussions, lectures and workshops.
