Canada, Montreal: Aug. 9 & 10 - Under Pressure 2014

Under Pressure 2014
Official: https://m.facebook.com/events/898088090217144

Under Pressure is the largest and longest running event of its kind all across North America. Under Pressure is a graffiti festival which focuses on community development, artist empowerment as well as positive youth development through ownership and responsibility of a shared space. Currently heading into its nineteenth year this festival is the longest running graffiti and hip hop festival in existence. The main reason it has been able to be sustained for so long is because it is an event done by the community for the community, everyone who works on keeping it alive does so on a volunteer basis.

The festival takes place over two days, during the first full-week weekend in August. Throughout the two days stages are given over to performers from across the country to keep the crowd lively and the bboy and bgirl battle which always goes down on Sunday afternoon. There is a kid’s area for the little ones to get creative and a skate ramp set up over the course of the two days for open jams and a competition as well.

Susan says: Please tell everyone. This is a world-class event.

Call for artists: Canada, Montreal: Under Pressure 2013

http://wallstreetmeeting.de/mos-2013-schedule/
Here's the schedule

"How can I participate at MOS?
Depending on the venue and the local possibilities we try to present all disciplines of Hip-Hop, even though we concentrate our resources on Graf. So, no matter if you are a Rapper, Writer, Breaker or DJ. Easy. Just get connected and send a bunch of pictures or a link to info at s8yard.de . Please downscale the pictures so they are not too big. If you get in touch with us and ask for participation let us know where. Please don't forget that we are always tight in budgets, resources and wallspace."

The Kosmopolite Art Tour will host the international Graffiti event “JustWritingMyName” providing extra wall space for invited artists from Amsterdam and Den Haag.

The Kosmopolite Art Tour was originally initiated by three contemporary art collectives: Mac Crew (Paris/Bagnolet), Farm Prod (Brussels) and Aerosol Bridge Club (Amsterdam) in order to promote the development of pictorial art through the model of international artistic meetings and exchanges.

The project has started in three European cities in 2009 - Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris – with the objective to present an eclectic overview of contemporary pictorial art through mural creations and exhibitions. The project expanded internationally in 2011 involving the cities of Johannesburg, Jakarta, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

Now the KAT will return to Amsterdam for the second time!
