Katowice Street Art AiR 2018 is the new format of the former 'Katowice Street Art Festival' with AiR standing for 'Artist in Residence'. Since 2011, the festival would take place in a very specific timeframe (over a week or two in September), much like a traditional festival format, gradually transforming many bleak spots into colourful artistic spaces. As of 2017, AiR has progressed to become an all year event, moving away from the the more traditional festival format; being spread out over a whole year, it now gives AiR a more homely feel - with events taking place over 12 months, AiR is stating that we are always here for you, and we're here to stay. AiR invites local and international artists to Kato, organising workshops and various artistic spectacles for people to join in with, and the ethos is fantastic: providing art for everyone to see for free. Open for all, as street art should always be. For a full list of events taking place over 2018, we recommend checking out their website to check up on the latest updates.
