WOOL | Covilhã Urban Art

Being the direct result of two great passions, one for Graffiti / Street Art and other for Covilhã and its history, closely linked to the textile industry, WOOL | Covilhã Urban Art, appeared in 2011 as the first event of these characteristics in the interior of Portugal, under a specific and unique format and modus operandi, aiming to introduce these new expressions of Contemporary Art, as tools capable of enormous social, cultural, economic and urban transformations in a community.

Today, it is possible to observe a huge number of parallel actions, in new geographies and formats, targeting different (and unusual) age groups, confirming the value of Urban Art as a tool for rehabilitation (and recovery) of citizenship.
