Philosophy & Vision
Artscape is a nonprofit organisation that seeks to inspire people and promote public art for everyone. We believe that the dominance of the advertising boards in the modern cityscape needs to be challenged.
We are always working on new exciting projects that will explore the possibilities of street art in the modern urban environment.
Bringing art to the people
Artscape is a nonprofit organisation that seeks to inspire people and promote public art for everyone. We believe that the dominance of the advertising boards in the modern cityscape needs to be challenged. Great art shouldn’t be confined to only galleries and museums!
Social sustainability, cultural diversity and equality
We put great pride into producing high quality projects whilst bringing meaningful cultural experiences to local communities. Our aim is to provide a solid platform for artists from all backgrounds and showcase a wide range of expressions and styles.
Sustainable development goals
In 2015 the UN SDGs was adopted by 193 countries as a common effort for sustainable development. The goals aims to include all cities, governments and all parts of the civic society in spreading the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The UN SDGs have played a major role in the Artscape organisation since 2015. We believe in art and creativity as an essential spark for a sustainable future.
Innovating the art form
Artscape was born from an idea to change the Swedish perception of urban art. By pushing the boundaries of art in the public space, Artscape has become a prominent voice in the global contemporary urban art scene. We are always open to unique ideas and looking for expressions that will allow the art form to thrive.
