The fourth edition of The Crystal Ship street art exhibition is built around The Dictatorship of Art, in a collaboration with Theater aan zee.
If art was a dictator, he would tell you to be free. Basically art has the democratic ability to alter the world.
In 2019 the acclaimed street artists created ten murals, two sculptures, some interventions by Helen Bur who put portraits on inhabitants' walls, three school projects and Portuguese artist in residence Wasted Rita who used the city as her playground.
The tour takes off at the Tourism Office in Ostend, where free cycling and walking maps are at your disposition.
A Crystal Ship Kids Guide is available to make it more fun for the youngsters.
Once again the participating artists came from over the world: from the popular Belgian Jaune, over French Miss Van, German Case Maclaim, American Crystal Wagner to British David Walker, Spanish Escif, Marina Capdevila, Mohamed l’Ghacham and Dutch Leon Keer.
