Urb’Art back in Argelès sur Mer

Urb’Art returns to Argelès sur Mer for the 3rd time from Friday 23rd May to Sunday 1st June.

This colourful, eco-responsible festival, committed to food solidarity, brings together thirty-six artists around a common theme: ‘Mother Earth’.

Eight walls and a hundred recycled panels will be the canvas for wall art related to sustainable food.

That’s right, they’re using the art of graffiti to explore the impact of the food industry and the importance of what happens off our plates.

Here’s how it looked last year…
