For five years, the Street Art Communication festival (SAC) has systematically created a gallery of contemporary street art in the public areas of Košice. The festival has developed over the years and currently ranks amongst the top European street art events. The genesis of the SAC (from school areas to large facades of residential houses, from local artists to renowned foreign muralists) is clear (cooperation with parts of the city, the SPOTs project, media interest, street vernissage…). The priority of the SAC in 2013 will therefore be to invite artists who currently form the definition of the term ‚Street Art‘ and create a magnificent gallery of contemporary art on the facades of houses and streets in the city. The motivation of festival organisers lies in the belief that if approached sensitively, aesthetically and in a wider context, public space is a workable organism which, of course, is an image of the society by which it is surrounded. Everything created in such an environment becomes part of it and forms its tone. During the festival in 2012, seven murals were created following a New City concept. Works created during festival also have, apart from an artistic value, an educational dimension since they are authentic proof that public space does not just have to be a sketch pad for rebels or a notice board for advertising.
