International Proactive Art Festival -BLOOP check the website

July 16, 2016 to August 16, 2016

The BLOOP festival celebrates its sixth edition with the theme  NOT FEAR.

BLOOP Festival is the first of its kind as it is entirely dedicate to this proactive art. Every year there is an annual theme which artists from around the world base their aesthetics on. They are usually social issues that we can all relate to. At BLOOP spectators are encouraged by the artworks to “think” proactively on these issues = proactive art.
