Once Upon a Time
The Story– in Motion
Since 2022—after the first mural was created by La Fille Bertha in the heart of Quartu Sant’Elena in collaboration with Propositivo—Viale Colombo has embarked on a journey of transformation and enhancement of public space through art and community engagement.
Dozens of walls, roller shutters, benches and planter boxes: over the years every surface has become a canvas for numerous Sardinian artists of international standing.
The City as an Urban Gallery
A continuous movement aimed at transforming the city into an open-air gallery.
Two initiatives: Urban Evolution, a semi-permanent exhibition gallery along Via del Mare; and Fuori Vetrina, street art on the shutters of shops and restaurants.
Call for Artists:
URBAN EVOLUTION
The 2025 Theme
Via del Mare becomes an urban gallery and you can be part of it. Urban Evolution is looking for artists and illustrators ready to transform bin storage unit covers into artworks visible to everyone.
Whether it’s a single piece or a series, submit your proposal to customize the bin unit covers. Selected artists will collaborate closely with the curatorial team to refine the composition of their final work, which will then be faithfully installed on-site as part of a city-wide exhibition along the main thoroughfare
A Space to Tell Stories
Each bin unit cover becomes an urban canvas of nearly 20 square metres.
Whether a singular work or a coordinated series, every project will be tailored to the space to showcase the artist’s identity and the vision of the project.
Visibililty and Prizes
La Via del Mare, con 5 milioni di passaggi annui, è una vetrina unica per il tuo lavoro. Ogni artista selezionato avrà un QR code sul coprimastello, collegato al proprio portfolio o e-shop. Via del Mare, boasting 5 million passersby each year, offers a one-of-a-kind showcase for your work. Every selected artist will have a QR code on their bin units, linking directly to their portfolio or online shop.
A technical jury will award a total prize pool of 2,000€:
- 1st Prize: 1,000€
- 2nd Prize: 600€
- 3rd Prize: 400€
Make your mark on one of Sardinia’s most vibrant public spaces.
Call for Artists: FUORI VETRINA
The Concept
When the shutters come down, art emerges.
Fuori Vetrina transforms the businesses along Via del Mare into permanent galleries, featuring interventions by selected street artists.
The Call
Each artist will be given a shutter as their canvas, an opportunity to bring their style to the streets and create a visual dialogue between art and commerce.
The creation of the artworks on the shutters will take place during Street Art Week.
How to Apply
Submit your concept and portfolio, Fuori Vetrina features artists chosen by the jury, each commissioned to create an original work on one of the shop shutters along Viale Colombo.
Artwork creation will take place during Street Art Week. Artists will receive a fee of €300 per shutter. Materials and meals are provided, and accommodation can be arranged if needed.
