Wallspot (2012-2024): twelve years of free walls in Barcelona, from the Tres Xemeneies to 22 cities<\/h1>\n

Wallspot was the Rebobinart platform to locate and activate legal walls<\/strong>, so that any artist could paint in the street with guarantees. It was born in October 2012 as Murs Lliures, in response to the 2005 civic ordinance, with a pilot on the walls of the Tres Xemeneies gardens; in 2017 it became Wallspot and in September 2024 it closed. Here is everything it left behind: Wall Labs, themed JAMs, awards and more than 70 documented projects.<\/p>\n

What Wallspot was<\/h2>\n

Neither a festival nor a gallery: an infrastructure that made painting in the street legal, open and rotating. The seed of Rebobinart.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Legal walls<\/h3>\n

A digital platform to locate free walls, manage their permits and showcase the work of urban artists from around the world: over 106 walls, 22 cities and 22,000 registered users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wall Labs<\/h3>\n

Since December 2018, creative spaces in public space with works that stayed for a year: 12 Wall Labs and more than 19 artists and collectives, from the Tres Xemeneies to La Model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Themed JAMs<\/h3>\n

Intensive creation days where two guest artists picked 8 to 12 artists to paint on site a theme set by a social organisation: Writers, Womart 8M, Block, Extinction, Sports, Wild Life, Logoart, Realism, LGTBIQ+ and Migration JAM, in Barcelona, Terrassa and Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Awards<\/h3>\n

Bdigital award (2012), Barcelona Activa Social Entrepreneurship award (2015), Generalitat de Catalunya Civic award (2018), AMB grant (2019) and Ministry of Culture recognition for cultural and creative industries (2022).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
