The Crystal Ship 2017 | For a second street art bonanza!

Although The Crystal Ship is only in its second year, the festival managed to set a new record: it is already the largest street art festival in Europe.

"Nowhere in Europe so many artists in this genre are brought together for a joint arts festival. With The Crystal Ship we want to bring art to people and that is exactly what we have done: in the course of two weeks we realized more than 20 impressive murals and more than 200 smaller works of art, right in the center of the city, the place where people live and work. That alone, is quite unique!" says curator Bjorn Van Poucke.
