Urban art in the city
Cologne is full of art — street art enhances urban spaces and revives grey walls with colorful visions. That’s because the city is a living organism — a democratic concept shared by the many people and artists who, day by day, make Cologne this uniquely exciting metropolis. Many artworks are attributed to the biennial Urban Arts Festival CityLeaks and the international artists involved. But, of course, the local artist scene very much contributes, both in large and small ways. You can experience Cologne’s street art as you stroll through the Belgian Quarter, the district of Ehrenfeld, Ebertplatz and the surrounding streets as well as the rest of the city. See for yourself — Cologne is colorful.
