01/10/2024

Avem un opening atât de mare că acum trebuie să-ți rezervi și un loc – așa, ca să nu rămâi în parcare (haha, joking).

Yeeep. V-am văzut. Am simțit chemarea voastră pentru lumi noi, suprarealiste care vă scot din monotonia orașului. Dar din păcate, sau din fericire, UZUC - Underground Zone of Unconventional Culture - poate găzdui un număr limitat de oameni.

Don't stress, încă poți intra, însă doar dacă te înscrii aici https://forms.gle/BVXJcZRfk1TqpuF69 .

Ne vedem pe 4 octombrie, ora 18.00 .

Suntem recunoscători să anunțăm că Artown Festival face parte din portofoliul de proiecte al Ploiesti - Capitala Tineretului din Romania 2024 , cu sprijinul Primăria Ploiești , Fundatia Judeteana pentru Tineret Prahova & Eurospirit.

Împreună avem oportunitatea să contribuim la transformarea Ploieștiului într-un oraș al artei și culturii urbane. Alături de comunitatea locală deschidem noi căi de exprimare creativă, regenerând urban, dar și uman orașul.

Mulțumim, RFI Romania!

We are transforming Ploiești into the ultimate art playground, where surrealism breaks any boundary - all thanks to our partners Kaufland Romania .

This year we are once again ready to make urban regeneration through a lot of street art action, together!

'People's dreams and nightmares all at once.'

This is what Alex Baciu sees through surrealism. Wearing double pairs of shoes, one of a festival organizer and one of an artist, he is a creator who has his own vocabulary and visual concepts, is attracted by the intersection of multiple architectural forms, signs, numerology, modern mythology and spatial analysis. He explores visual forms under the influence of pop-surrealism, illustrations, objects, paintings and murals.

When the art flows by, the thirst goes bye. Thanks AQUA Carpatica for keeping our community refreshed from October 4th to 20th at Artown Festival!

"Surrealism is closer to the fantastic and mystical that people need in everyday life to escape into their own imagination. In fact, everything is more than what we see, but only if we are willing to explore into the absurd of a surrealist space. And I consider childhood to be the most surreal experience we can live".

A closer look on surrealism from Mircea Popescu - visual artist from Bucharest. Practicing a type of drawing that comes from outside the academic spectrum, he integrates comic strip fragments, typographic elements and absurd geometric structures into his compositions. With works fragmented into geometric structures with sharp edges, specific to hard-edge painting or the Super Flat art movement, the subjects in his works revolve around the idea of play, a trick on perception combined with elements from his own childhood. Mircea intentionally ignores serious, tragic, political or social subjects, looking for a visual space closer to a peaceful refuge, a world that cannot be touched by the gripping problems of reality.

Have you ever heard of a poetry rave? Get ready to let your creative spirit loose and allow your inner self to be brave!

We’re not talking about a simple open mic, but a revolution against the elitist art gates that have kept true voices in the shadows for too long. And aiacupoezia are here to smash those gates wide open.

Since 2022 Ăia cu poezia have been blending voices into a celebration of expression. Their movement has grown, unexpected and unstoppable, into an interdisciplinary platform where not just poets, but musicians and performers collide in the name of art.

Their promise? Inclusion. A place where very voice is a headline act. Whether you come with verses, some tunes, or a performance, the stage is yours. When, and if you are ready, you've got 5 minutes under the spotlight—no scripts, no judges, just pure vibes and the roar of the crowd.

October 6th, 6pm. 14 Marin Brutaru street. Hala 0. Ploiești.

Join us. Be seen. Be heard. Grab the mic, the crowd is waiting.

You know the drill—ain’t no scene like an Artown scene, and we’re taking it up a notch for the kick-off of Artown Festival!

Yeah, you heard right! Summer ain’t done until we stamp our urban manifesto all over Ploiești at UZUC Factory, reframed into the newest rawest Underground Zone of Unconventional Culture.

Here’s a teaser: Mr. Jurjak & Bianca Oance. This is "Le Bal des Têtes" where blues slides into a funky DJ mix that’s bound to vibe with whatever world you’re living in. It’s unexpected, it’s wild, just like our special guest Killa Fonic, that’s on site and might or might not make an appearance on the scene. That’s only on you and can help by tagging him here, too!

October 4th, 18:00, 14 Marin Brutaru street, Ploiești. Don’t miss it.

When it comes to art, there's plenty of space for new beginnings. Especially when you believe that "there is freedom in doing things your own way, in being independent, and that this freedom often leads to spectacular, remarkable performances".

Those words come from our newest partner, Media Consulta International, and they're exactly why we joined forces with them this year. Cuz they are more ready than ever to embrace urban regeneration through street art. Thanks to them we're getting even bigger and even more spotlight (literally)!

We are so grateful to have people like Media Consulta International by our side, who are helping the festival move from an annual event to a permanent movement in Ploiești's history. Thank you for all the support!

💥 You may not believe us when we say this but: Check the building on 📍Lipscani 79 if you're curious enough of what we're bringing to Ploiești from Oct 4 to 20! 💥

20/09/2024

Are you ready for another year spent in close cooperation with Ploiești Shopping City in our town - Artown Festival? Cause we sure are!

We are thankful to merge our forces with the most popular urban retail icon of Ploiesti in order to transform our town into the capital of surrealism in Romania!
Huge thanks to Shopping City Ploiesti for supporting yet another culture movement dedicated to our community!

Not just another talk about street art. But a Not So Random Artown Talk.

In a world where everything seems far too calculated, from the clock's tongue you expect to show the exact time, to the spray you expect to keep the straight line traced by your hand, we embrace randomness at on September 7th, at 6.30 pm. All in the first Street Art talk in Bucharest dedicated to artivism in urban space.

We wanted to let the agenda be random, but we changed our minds. So you should know that we'll start with a not so spontaneous discussion between Artown Festival artists: , & board member .now , about what street art and mural art is in 2024, moderated by , president of association & board member Artown Festival, that ends with a party to wrap everything up.

So, what do you say? See you at the Not So Random Artown Talk & After-party?
