STREET ART FESTIVAL

From July 9 to 11, the Šibenik Street Art Festival once again transforms NKC Azimut and its surroundings into a vibrant hub of urban art. Over three festival days, visitors can enjoy exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, a graffiti jam and a diverse music programme, bringing together artists from Croatia, Germany, Belgium and Italy. This year’s guests include renowned Belgian street artist Jaune, German artist Mittenimwald, Belgian duo Zazzou & CoolJC, and German artist and documentary filmmaker Ulrich Blanche.

A special highlight of this year’s edition is a mural dedicated to Arsen Dedić, paying tribute to one of Šibenik’s most celebrated artists. Through this contemporary mural project, the festival continues to connect urban art with the city’s identity and cultural heritage.

The programme opens on Thursday with the festival launch and exhibitions, while Friday features a stencil workshop for young participants, live stencil painting by international artists, and a screening of the documentary Stencil Stories, followed by a discussion with its director, Ulrich Blanche.

Saturday is dedicated to the next generation of street artists with a graffiti workshop for children and young people, followed by the Graffiti Jam in front of Azimut, where local and international artists will create together. The festival concludes with a screening of Optički krikovi (Optical Screams) by director Lovorka Perić and a DJ set by D-Gree, whose blend of afrobeat, soul, funk and groove will round off three days of urban art and culture in Šibenik.
