ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL
ABOUT ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] is a non profit, non subsidized, non governmental and all volunteer organization. We aim to promote social conscience and action through art. ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] is an Year Around Independent European Contemporary Street + Urban Art Festival established and based in Athens, Greece.
ABOUT
ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL
ABOUT ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] was formed by a group of committed individuals who are guided by a passionate belief in the power of art to create and convey personal experience and cultivate social progress. ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] was founded in 2009 with the purpose to promote graffiti and mural art as an appreciated art form through talented aspiring and accomplished artists as well as to help revitalize low income neighborhoods. We have organised over 1,000 legal street art murals in Athens since 2010.
ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] does not promote malicious defacement of private and/or public property of any kind thus refuting the negative image of Graffiti and Street Art . At ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] we rebel by being a creative and positive force producing urban art that aims to empower and transform youth and their communities. We rebel by working hard to show what Street Art can do for the revitalization of problematic urban areas.
ABOUT
ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL
ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] desires to provide an annual platform for European Artists, operating outside of traditional systems. Outsiders if you like. The event aims to stimulate debate by challenging entrenched notions of what art is, and more importantly, can be. ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] aims to provide a relevant, challenging and dynamic environment for artists, students, gallery goers and public alike, an event that aims to reflects the culture rather than try and define it.
ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL [ASAF] consists of a series of citywide exhibitions, events, performances, interventions, debates + workshops surrounding current trends and movements in street art practice by some of the worlds leading practitioners. Street art as a genre has developed significantly over the past few years, and ASAF is concerned with the task of identifying, promoting and presenting both pioneers and emerging talents within the scene. The artists who attend the festival are among the most acclaimed and progressive public art practitioners in the world.

International Artist Exchange
We want to support a living international street art scene. But the situation for talented artists is not always the best. If you come to Athens we can give you support in finding great walls and excellent places to paint or help to organize an exhibition. Just contact us and ask what we can do for you and your art. You should not be doubtful. We hosted a lot of high class international artists in Athens. If you want, asked for our references.
Press Support
Street Art is getting more and more popular. The artists often work hidden and are anonymous. So we can offer you meetings with members of the street art scene in Athens to get an interview or an article. Also if you write about the Athens street art scene or an artist and need some pictures (e.g. from current, old or gone art pieces), we provide a big and useful collection of street art pictures to use.
Get in touch with us.
Artist Agency
If you are looking for an artist for an event or an art order, don´t hesitate to contact us, too. If there is a special topic we can also provide you a choice of good, well working artists. If you are interested in a concrete one, we can do the connection. Just get in touch with us.
