Artscape (organisation)
Artscape is a nonprofit organization working predominantly within street art and public art. It was founded in Malmö, Sweden in 2014 by Daniel Wakeham and Tor Hedendahl. Artscape has produced several street art festivals, inviting international artists to create street art in different parts of Sweden. Alongside the production of the artworks, the organization has also arranged artist talks, workshops and panel discussions.
Artscape organised Sweden's first international street art festival in Malmö in 2014, and has since arranged street art projects in Gothenburg, and Värmland.
Activities
Artscape was set up to promote public art, and challenge the "dominance of the advertising boards" through the use of street art in the urban environment. Its projects are often undertaken in urban areas that are in need of, or are undergoing, regeneration.Exhibitions/Projects
