Urban art in
Krakow, Poland.
Most probably street art of sorts has always been
present in Krakow even if ignored and/or suppressed. Now, in the
21st century, it seems to enjoy recognition and often an official
blessing as well. The local government commissions a mural from time
to time when appropriate, every June there is ArtBoom Festival of
urban art on the streets and squares of Krakow, and the locals
overbook special tours showing the city's street art.

Also varied organizations, from
businesses to nonprofits, have acquired a taste for graphic design
spread over their buildings in the last decade.

Yet at the same time
the underground, uncompromising, and anarchistic street art of old
still keeps appearing on the walls and pavements here and there in
the city.
