Ruzafa is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Valencia. It has restaurants, bars, cafes , bookstores and a wide cultural offer. Now, in addition, it will also be filled with urban art thanks to a contest where 10 artists will paint the shutters of several stores and garages.
The aim of this contest is twofold, on the one hand, beautify the neighborhood and fill it with art, and on the other hand, give an opportunity to new artists and give them a chance to publicly display their talent.
Valencia is a city where street art is of great importance and some places are true open-air museums.
The contest is open to both merchants and neighborhood communities who wish to give a little color to the shutters of their garages. All information and registrations can be made through the electronic procedures of the City Council of Valencia in the section of Non-Catalogued Applications, attaching a photograph of the place to paint and its measurements.
On the other hand, artists must also submit a sketch and the ten finalists will receive 200 euros for material. The winner will also receive a prize of 400 euros.
With this contest, the streets of Ruzafa will have nothing to envy to those of Carmen and El Cabanyal.
