OVERVIEW

The 2012 Living Walls, The City Speaks Conference kicks off on Wednesday, August 15th. This year’s conference is the first of its kind by featuring 26 all-female street artists. Living Walls Founder and Executive Director, Monica Campana, joins Gene in the studio on Sidewalk Radio’s event and culture segment, ART STROLL, to talk about this year’s focus on female artists and give insight plus information on the purpose of the annual conference.

Though the conference officially starts on Wednesday, street artists have already begun to transform the urban landscape of Atlanta.

Living Walls is an annual conference focusing on urbanism and street art. Started in Atlanta in August 2010, the conference showcases street artists who interact with the city to create conversation and uncover culture.  The five-day conference is filled with block parties, bike tours, film screenings and lectures. Come hear Sidewalk Radio’s host, Gene Kansas, participate in a panel discussion on Saturday the 18th at the Plaza Theatre at 3:00…see event flyer below for more info about all participants…it’s going to be a great conversation.  All events, which can be found here, are free and open to the public.
