Streetart in Tartu

Streetart
Various artists
Found during summer 2014
In the streets of Tartu

Tartu is the Estonian capital of streetart. Both due to looser policy against streetart compared to Tallinn, and due to the streetartfestival Stencibility. The festival grows larger and larger every year, both promoting the Estonian artists and inviting artists from abroad. The highlight of 2014 was the great mural of MTO with a portrait of the woman in the shop inside the building. This is even used by the city of Tartu in promotions in the streets of the capital, to show how visually pleasing Tartu is.

On their blog you also find a splendid map marking quite a substantial amount of art in the streets. Also the works that are no longer. Here is what I found myself this summer. It pleases me to know there is so much more, that is always a reason for going back to this nice city.
