Starting on the 20th of January, we are pleased to present a new exhibition at the art’otel Gallery Amsterdam. ‘Urban Wildlife’ brings together a group of artists working in different mediums to explore the visual connection between animals and urban city life. Often unexpected and at times surrealistic, each artist has their own style and approach to this theme. Urban Wildlife will be on display at the art’otel for the next three months.

This holiday season, we’re bringing it all back, this time to the gallery of the art’otel! This show allows both young and up-and-coming talents as well as established favorites to share the ..read more

A spectacular visual extravaganza took place during the weekend of August 19th. Over 30 artists, local, national and international, got together for the Docks Mural & Graffiti Event 2023.  This event followed the footsteps of its earlier successful version, ‘Meeting of Styles’, which did well with three editions in the early 2000s. District 13 (DC13) and Amsterdam Street Art teamed up to bring these kind of creative events back to life. The gathering took place at De Steiger in Almere Haven, where the huge Plastopil building’s wall served as a canvas. Artists collaborated tireles ..read more

On the 12th of August, we brought the streets to life within the walls of the art’otel Gallery in Amsterdam with the grand opening of the “Street Love” exhibition.

Ambriz, Bondage Bunny, FELEON, Luis Sanchez, Marije Maria, Potato and Onion, and Ravian Derrière all have a unique background, ranging from art academy graduates who started their creative journey with spray cans to photographers capturing the raw essence of urban art forms. We were honored to host ..read more

Get ready for a visual extravaganza as Almere Haven gears up to host the annual Docks, Mural & Graffiti Event 2023! Following the tremendous success of its early 2000s predecessor ‘Meeting of Styles’, this year’s event promises to be spectacular. On the weekend of August 19th, a 100-meter-long gray wall in Almere Haven will be magically transformed into a colorful piece of art, painted by renowned (inter)national graffiti artists. This initiative by District 13 (DC13), brings forth a unique collaboration with us, Amsterdam Street Art (ASA). DC13 is devoted to promoting urban arts (an ..read more

ASA thrives on creative collaborations, but we often stumble on misconceptions about commissioned work. Some might believe it’s just a matter of providing a design to be mindlessly replicated, while others fear being left in the dark, unsure of what the artist will create. The truth is that it’s all about striking the perfect balance. And working with the Moxy hotel chain is the perfect example of that. When we take on a project for Moxy we always have a similar approach: Apto Architects provides a graffiti direction—a general idea of what should adorn each wall and how large the artwork shou ..read more

Last Friday evening, a group of artistic individuals gathered in Amsterdam’s Reguliers Dwarsstraat in front of the WIHH Gallery. Passersby wondered what brought all these creative people together.

It was 2015 when Amsterdam Street Art came up with the idea to organize the Street Art Awards. Shortly before that, McDonalds came up with the graffiti burger and we were surprised by Ikea with a true Street art line. If we had not done this at the time, a large commercial party would undoubtedly have run off with completely different intentions. While around the first edition there was still talk about whether or not to talk about “the best”, it became clear during the 2nd edition of the Dutch Street art awards that this was certainly not our starting point. It was about appreciation, a grea ..read more
