Values and mission
Meeting of Styles is the worlds largest street art-, mural- & graffiti festival and takes places on 25-35 different locations every year – That’s one every 2 weeks! Each event has it’s own team, and in Copenhagen we’re trying to do something unique.
We’re a fairly small (50 artists) event since we insist of being located in the heart of Copenhagen. Adding to the central location we’re super strong on social atmosphere, to nurture strong long-term relations between artists, volunteers, visitors and organizers.
Meeting of Styles builds on five central values:
Strong relations between International and Scandinavian artists
Challenge artists and visitors’ synergy
Unique and surprising Copenhagen experience
Playground for initiators
Experimental space
Strong relations between International and Scandinavian artists
MOS CPH aims to enhance communication between International and Scandinavian street art and graffiti artists. Where international artists can experience Copenhagen atmosphere and get inspired by the Danish style and people. The festival invites everybody for friendly art conversations and exchange of influential ideas. MOS CPH seek to gather International and Danish street art and graffiti artists for annual urban art celebration in Copenhagen city centre.
Challenge artists and visitors’ synergy
The city visitors and residents are engaged and challenged by the performed art, while the performers are engaged by the spectators’ attention. This synergy inspires social impact on street art and graffiti perception among visitors. The festival educates and expands visitors’ understanding of legal street art and graffiti within a simple observation.
Unique experience
By organising the festival in the central Copenhagen location, artists and visitors can experience unique street art and graffiti presentation. Naturally, it engages people interaction and discussions with the festival participants. Everybody is invited to visit the festival and get some inspiration from creative-innovative and technically skilled artists, who are very productive in the street art and graffiti field in the present.
Playground for initiators
MOS CPH serves as a playground for initiators and a space for next-generation initiators to develop. New ideas, a collective effort and improvements keep festival growing every year.
Experimental space
Also, the festival creates an experimental space with urban elements – graffiti walls, which changes city planning for a temporary period in Axeltorv square. Pedestrians are challenged to change a movement flow in the square regarding street art and graffiti. This change in itself demonstrates a rise of creative space in Copenhagen.
TOGETHER, we make street art and graffiti shine!
The festival is organized by the Non-profit organization Street Studies, 100% run by amazing volunteers, dedicating their time and skills, to make this unique and colorful event in the heart of Copenhagen.
MosCph is the artistic highlight of the year and Street Studies uses this grand opportunity to connect with talented muralists, to collaborate with in projects in the suburbs – to help support disadvantaged neighborhoods and make them shine brighter.
