- short film fest. festival of short movies with theme of street art and urban culture.
- indoors exhibits - we already have multiple venues secured on a same block, so walking will not be an issue. there will be live music, dancing parties and more. we will have multiple exhibit places around the town. there will be performers and artists working on live pieces as well.
- outdoors exhibits - sculptures, paintings, existing murals, art installed around the town on the streets. this will be at various places around the town, maybe some of them too far to walk to, but all of them inviting people to the evening parties and galleries. a bike tour will be planned.
- main stage in park - one of the parks will have bands playing all day. activities planned for kids, painting party... the whole event will be designed so there is room for the artists and at the same time the local community is invited to participate.
streets 2k5 will be an unique opportunity to meet other creative street artists and work with local residents in our neighborhoods. the whole event is organized in collaboration with local institutions in order to present street art as art which beautifies the environment and not as destruction of property.
