Wool | Covilhã Urban Art

Being the direct result of two great passions, one for Graffiti / Street Art and other for Covilhã and its history closely related with the textile industry, WOOL | Covilhã Urban Art, appeared in 2011 as the first event with these characteristics in Portugal under a specific and unique format and modus operandi, aiming to introduce these new expressions of Contemporary Art as tools capable of great social, cultural, economic and urban transformations in a community. Today it is possible to observe a huge number of parallel actions in new geographies * and formats targeting different (and unusual) age groups, confirming the value of Urban Art as a tool for rehabilitation (and recovery) of citizenship. * places where we have already carried out actions: Covilhã, Lisbon, Fundão, Coimbra, Abrantes, Figueira da Foz, Lagos, Porto, Paris (France) and Djerba (Tunisia).
