the street is our gallery

September 20, 2025 to September 30, 2025

From September 20 to 30, 2025, the city of Patras, Greece, will once again transform into a vibrant open-air gallery as it hosts the 10th edition of ArtWalk, one of the country’s most influential street art festivals. For a decade now, ArtWalk has redefined public space through creativity, dialogue, and community engagement—bringing world-class muralists to the streets and walls of this historic city.

A Decade of Art, Memory, and Civic Spirit.

ArtWalk 10 marks a milestone: ten years of murals, workshops, and urban storytelling. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a cultural institution, with dozens of artists, hundreds of volunteers, and a city that now sees its walls not just as surfaces—but as stories. This year’s theme, Mind the Street Art, invites reflection on the power of public art to shape collective memory and inspire civic pride.

Art as Healing: Standing with the Fire-Affected Community.

This year’s edition carries a deeper emotional weight. Patras recently endured the largest wildfire in its history. While no lives were lost, the environmental and psychological scars remain. In response, ArtWalk 10 positions itself as a beacon of solidarity. Through their murals, participating artists will honor resilience, commemorate loss, and offer hope—reminding us that art can heal, unite, and uplift.

Beyond the Walls: Education, Dialogue, and Collaboration.

ArtWalk 10 is more than murals. The festival will host educational workshops, public discussions, and collaborative projects with local cultural organizations—fostering active citizen participation and expanding the conversation around art in urban life.
