Closure Announcement of Openwalls.info:
Saying Farewell to a Chapter Filled with Street Art!

Hello, street art enthusiasts and followers of Openwalls.info!

After 12 years of interventions and more than 2000 permits to paint legal walls, we're here to share some bittersweet news: we're closing down the Openwalls.info project! Yes, it's the end of an exciting era in the world of urban art and the transformation of public spaces.

A Functional and Sustainable Approach

Openwalls.info was inspired by great experiences like the Open Gallery in Barcelona, and it developed an approach that has been functional and sustainable over the years. We're proud to have made a positive impact on coexistence in public spaces and breathed life into the districts and cities where we've worked.

Our Goal: Spaces for Free and Creative Expression

From the very beginning, our goal was crystal clear: to create a network of legal walls where anyone could express themselves freely and creatively. We've worked tirelessly to make this a reality, offering open opportunities for artistic intervention to everyone.

How Openwalls.info Worked

  1. From our website, anyone could download permits to paint specific walls with just a few clicks.
  2. Users had the freedom to choose the date and location where they wanted to work their magic.
  3. The permits, whether printed or in digital format, were valid for two days.
  4. And for those who shared photos of their creations, we showcased them on our website, creating a virtual space to display their creativity to the world.

Open and Collaborative Participation

Beyond artistic interventions, we encouraged everyone to join the project and open up new legal walls. If you had an idea to breathe life into a new space, we were always ready to lend a hand. The more, the merrier, right?

We want to express our sincere gratitude to the artists, the community, and those who shared our vision. Your support and passion over these years have been incredible.

Although this chapter is coming to a close, we believe that art and creativity will endure on the streets for all who were part of Openwalls.info.

Thank you for being part of this exciting adventure!
