1st Vyronas Street Art Festival

Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the outbreak of the country's Independence War against the Ottoman rule and the philhellenes who donated their property and often their lives for the idea of Greek independence, the most famous of which was Lord Byron, ten distinguished street artists answered the question "Can philhellenism and the struggle for freedom work as a source of inspiration?"

The last weekend of May 2021, the Municipal Gym "Stefanos Karalis" and the wall of the 3rd Primary School at the corner of Messolongiou & Erythrea streets, filled with colour! The list of artists has been long with renowned representatives of contemporary urban art, but with different starting points and diverse styles.

With initial inspiration from the Greek Revolution, the artists would create artworks, each looking at the subject from his own artistic point of view.
