About BSAF

Bratislava Street Art Festival was co-founded by OZ Euforion in 2011 and has since become a renowned international event in the world of street art. For 15 years, we have been creating street art in Bratislava, and 10 years ago we began developing the Street Art Gallery concept at Kamenné námestie.

Our Mission

We transform grey urban zones into vibrant cultural landmarks. Street art is highly effective in revitalizing neglected urban spaces, and the murals at Kamenné námestie have become must-see attractions for tourists from around the world.

Our Approach

Every mural production is a demanding process that takes months, sometimes years of careful preparation. We work with respect, humility, and dedication to cultural heritage. From obtaining permissions to coordinating with property owners, artists, and communities - we handle every step with professionalism.

Our Values

Organization

BSAF operates under the umbrella of OZ Euforion, a non-governmental organization founded in 2003. Based in Bratislava, we are part of the Eurojeune network with colleagues across all EU member states.

Street Art Gallery

Kamenné námestie & Surroundings

Since 2015, we have been developing the Street Art Gallery concept at Kamenné námestie and the surrounding area. This open-air gallery features monumental works by some of the world's most celebrated street artists.

Featured Works

Hotel Kyjev Deconstructed

Created by Slovak artist Lausy Auber, this legendary piece remains a dominant feature in countless photographs of Bratislava's cityscape. The work took three years of preparation before completion.

International Artists

The gallery showcases works by world-renowned artists who have visited Bratislava through BSAF:

Slovak Artists

We are proud to feature Slovak talent including Zuzana Sabová and DAOR, whose works contribute to the gallery's unique blend of international and local perspectives.

Visit the Gallery

The Street Art Gallery is freely accessible 24/7. Foreign tourists regularly seek out and photograph these works, making them among Bratislava's most photographed contemporary landmarks.

Future Plans

We aim to complete the Street Art Gallery at Kamenné námestie and expand to nearby areas, inviting more companies and organizations to join our street art family and support public space enhancement.

Current & Upcoming Projects

Mural Production

Large-format street art murals are demanding productions - technically, logistically, and financially. Each project requires months, sometimes years of careful preparation.

Our Process

1. Concept Development

Every project begins with an idea. For the L+S memorial mural, the concept came from our team member Pavol Kirsch, an avid vinyl collector who saw the potential in the 1980 LP cover of "L+S Dialógy."

2. Permissions & Approvals

We secure all necessary permissions from property owners, city authorities, and stakeholders. For memorial works, we obtain consent from families and rights holders - nothing is done without knowledge and approval.

3. Artist Selection

We conduct international competitions to find the artist whose style best fits the project concept. We never want to put local artists under pressure, so we keep the selection process open and fair.

4. Design Refinement

Working with all stakeholders, we refine the design to respect cultural sensitivities. For L+S, we replaced the original guns from the photo with Andy Warhol's banana - a nod to both artists' sense of humor and a statement against the sounds of weapons resonating in today's world.

5. Production

The actual painting typically takes 1-2 weeks of intensive work with scaffolding, lifts, and specialized equipment. The artist works under public scrutiny from day one.

6. Reveal

We communicate the project publicly only after completion, avoiding unnecessary pressure during the creation process.
