The Urban Canvas of Athens

Step into the heart of Athens’ urban art scene, where creativity meets culture. Wander through the vibrant neighborhoods of Kerameikos, Gazi, and Psyrri, uncovering striking murals and hidden graffiti. Learn about the techniques and inspirations behind these works, and how local artists use the city as their canvas to reflect social issues, personal expression, and cultural identity. Discover their stories and the impact of street art on Athens’ evolving urban landscape. Take a break to enjoy a taste of authentic Greek street food at a carefully selected local spot, adding a flavorful touch to your artistic journey. Then, step into The Art Lab for a hands-on graffiti workshop led by local artists. Experiment with stencil techniques, master the spray can, and create your own design on a tote bag or canvas to take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir. No experience needed—just your imagination and a passion for self-expression.
