Mechelen Muurt,BE bringing free art to people

6/30/2016

0 Comments

 
The city of Mechelen in Belgium together with a local graffiti designer, Gijs Vanhee decided to work on a project called "Mechelen Muur". At this project 10 other graffiti creators participated to change the  face of the city. They choose several walls from the city and decorated them with stunning pieces of art.

Unfortunately I did not get to see all the murals in the city but I will put pictures I took from the ones I saw adding the address. I discovered on YouTube that there are the cool making of from all the graffiti so I added the video. I will add only name and street of the murals I did not see and hopefully I'll get to see them net time I'll be in Mechelen.

Enjoy the stunning pieces of art!
