HANSEstreetartWORKS
First International Street Art Festival in Herford
Initiated by the Museum Marta Herford, during the 33rd International Hanseatic Day street artists from 17 Hanseatic cities will create works of art in Herford’s city centre before the eyes of the spectators.
In terms of theme, the festival refers to the exhibition “Visions – Atmospheres of Change” which will run parallel in the Marta Herford. The municipal space will thus become an extended laboratory of ideas and simultaneously a living stage for graffiti artists from all over Europe.
