During October and November Torino European Youth Capital 2010 will host PICTURIN FESTIVAL, the first international mural art event in Italy.

The young Italian and foreigner artists will be the protagonists of this festival and they will have to transform and retrain the walls of the city centre and the suborns with their creativity.

This event confirms the vocation of Torino as a city very oriented to the contemporary art  and the changes.

PICTURIN, supported by the Italian Youth Department, is proposed and coordinated by Murarte (a project of the Torino City Council Youth Department), Fondazione Contrada Torino Onlus and ACU (associations for the urban creativity) from Torino: Artefatti, Il Cerchio E Le Gocce and Style Orange.

Blind walls or only walls of forgotten urban buildings, places designed to advertisements will be used for the artistic intervention.

3.500 square metres of mural surface, from Palazzo Nuovo (via Verdi e Corso San Maurizio) to Lungo Dora Savona, from via Fiocchetto to Corso Taranto, from via Giachino to via Cigna, from Corso Grosseto to via Netro, from via Servais to via Don Murialdo, will be painted in one month. During this month the public could see the artist working, climbing walls to transform them in original works of  art.

PICTURIN FESTIVAL offers the opportunity to appreciate well known places and to discover uncommon corners of the city, making people enjoy the creativity of international muralists and the method used to obtain the precious work: from the performance to the work of art.

During the Festival, International well known and emerging artists will work together with different materials and methods: painting, spray, enamel and stencil.
