STREET ART FEST: GRENOBLE, FRANCE

The Grenoble Alps street art fest began in 2015 with 30 artists and they now have over 180 works up. The most recent festival featured 38 artists painting 10 huge walls and over 70 other surfaces. They are now curating artists from outside of France for this years festival.

The month-long festival has expanded both their physical space and their media. Grenoble now includes digital street art, exhibitions and a movie festival. The festival is also busting out of central Grenoble to include the nearby towns of Fontaine, Saint-Martin-d’Hères Le-Pont-de-Claix and Echirolles.

Due to the Corona pandemic the programme has evolved, national artists will get to work during the first fortnight of June. Depending on the opening of borders, the organisers hope to invite international artists between June 20^th and July 15^th. A final period of wall mural painting is planned for September and October.
