WOOL

Being the direct result of two great passions, one for Graffiti / Street Art and other for the city of Covilhã and its history closely related with the textile industry, WOOL | Covilhã Urban Art Festival, appeared in 2011 as the first event with these characteristics in the interior of 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 (domestic and foreign) and formats targeting different (and unusual) age groups, confirming the value of Urban Art as a tool for rehabilitation (and recovery) of citizenship.

All the pieces produced within the scope of WOOL, all formats, projects, in all places, exact address, all information around the artists and stories behind each wall or installation can be found on this app.
