Urban Art Walk

In the organizer's words:

See the city with new eyes

Düsseldorf is a city of culture. Many museums and interesting galleries show art from all eras. An exciting new art movement is looking for other places to work. Away from enclosed spaces, international urban artists have created many hidden art locations in the city that are increasingly shaping the image of public space.

At the Urban Art Walk, Klaus Rosskothen, curator and operator of the Pretty Portal gallery, invites you to discover these places and see the city with new eyes.

Urban art artists combine classic art styles with pop, punk, graffiti or street art, reflecting the thoughts and moods of the present day. They show their works in the gallery and in the public space, the urban environment. They use this as the largest possible gallery and recultivate it with their murals and installations.

In recent years, urban art has established itself as an art movement in the field of contemporary art.

During a 2-hour walk through the Friedrichstadt and Bilk districts, he will take you past works by Jana&JS, FinDAC, Pixelpancho and L.E.T.. Along the way, you will discover PDOT's ghosts, as well as sticker art and paste-ups by regional and international artists and receive background information on the creation of the works, the artists and brief insights into Düsseldorf's city history.
