Believe it or not, Street Art is on its way to Amsterdam!!! Project Amsterdam Street Art will be held from the 8th until the 12th of June, 2010.

Project Amsterdam Street Art (Project ASA) is a young organisation with creative artists and entrepreneurs, who have a passion for street art. We see that street art-wise something is missing in Amsterdam. Similar European cities already have diverse street art events. Through organising street art related (sub) events in Amsterdam, we are aiming to get to a same level as other European cities. 
 There are lots of exciting developments going on in the street art scene. Artists improve their techniques. Street art is becoming an accepted form of art in the international art scene. The streets can be seen as an open gallery, which can be visited day and night. Just look around you and be surprised and amazed. Street art is what makes the streetscape more attractive and beautiful.
 

Our goal is to set up an annual recurrent event and that it will become recognized in the European street art scene. During the second week of June (8-12 June) we organise our first event. Happenings such as exhibition openings, paint jams and follow up parties will take place within a period of five days. Locations are: Bobs Youth Hostel, Bep Gallery, Outland Records Gallery, De Duivel, The Thought Gallery, GO Gallery and after parties at Sugar Factory (Hells Kitchen) and Flexbar (Undercover).
 

Artists who will be invading Amsterdam are coming all the way from countries such as Canada, Italy, England and of course The Netherlands itself. We are very proud to have the following artists at our first event: The London Police, Hugo Kaagman, Pez, Ives.One, Galo, Flying Fortress, K74, NOL, Fake, Farkfk, Recall One, Orticanoodles, Faunagraphic, Bue The Warrior, Chase and Indigo. We would not be surprised if the invited artists will leave their trademark outside on the streets in Amsterdam. 
 
GO Gallery will organize a group show with  artworks by all of the above mentioned participating artists. The grand opening is on Saturday June 12, from 5 pm. – 8 pm. The exhibition is up until July 10th.
