The motto of this year's Urban Art Festival Styria 2024 is “Diversity and Sustainability” and the festival will take place in public spaces in Graz and Styria. Among other things, squares, walls and objects will be bathed in color in the form of street art, recycled material will be turned into fashion and works of art, and young new music trends from many parts of Europe will make public spaces resound.

The 7-storey STUWO building, StudentCity Graz, is a festival center and art workshop in one. Urban underground art to participate in and try out.

Throughout the festival, international stars of the art scene and young up-and-coming artists will work together on new innovative projects and then realize them in public. The STUWO building itself will also be transformed into an “inhabitable work of art” with exhibitions and installations.

Special highlights of the festival are the art projects with the international recycling designer Katell Gelebart from France. She uses everything “that is there”.

Beverage cartons, pasta packaging, plastic bottles, old clothes and postbags - Katell Gélébart uses unusual materials and ideas and the principle of recycling to create clothing, accessories and furniture. She works in many countries around the world and wants to show that things that are seemingly no longer needed are valuable raw materials.

The music program is also particularly innovative. The festival focuses on in-house productions and new interpretations. Like in a music laboratory, music is composed, produced and premiered.

A wide range of musical styles is on offer, from Styrian dialect pop to Balkan music and Ukrainian avant-garde to Armenian music.
