MOST FESTIVAL’12 - Moscow Street Art Festival

Street art decorates the city with intricate, flashy, funny drawings. The catchy attracts the attention of passers-by, trying at least for a minute to tear them out of the usual cycle of affairs, to show the other side of life. On August 5, the grand opening of the festival "Bridge" will take place, which will bring together the best artists in this direction.

From June 20 to the end of July, the organizers of the festival held a large-scale competition revealing the creative potential of artists from Moscow and the Moscow region. The results of the competition are still kept secret and will be announced only tomorrow. After that, the best masters will be able to realize their bold projects on the most visited sites in Moscow. And the residents of the capital will be able to observe within a month how the familiar city landscape is being transformed.

A ban on self-expression on the streets is a common occurrence. Although many objects, such as building fences, bare ragged walls of old houses and porches, electric distribution panels, concrete fencing, pipes and sewer manholes, often give cities a shabby and gray look. But you just have to color them, as the surrounding space takes on an exquisite shape.

To show that street art is art and not childish mischief - this is the main idea of the MOST festival. The program of the event is very diverse: graffiti jam (improvisation in drawing using graffiti technique), dance battle (friendly dance competition) and master classes in volume graffiti. In addition, visitors will be able to see a flash mob with elements of dance and evaluate the projects of the winners of the creative competition before their implementation.
