About us
We have started to spray graffiti in the late 90th and still keep doing that. The main purpose of the Art-Group is to popularize graffiti as a legal artistic tool, develop creative potential of youth, support art initiatives, develop critical thinking by young street artists, transform open spaces by means of graffiti with the aim of positive changes in our society.
We are actively working with young street artists, supporting talented youth. To reach our goals we organize art projects and events in Bishkek and other kyrgyz cities. We are recognized by local and international youth and donor organizations.
We are confident that graffiti can do the world more colorfull. And numerous friends, colleagues, sponsors and customers are fully agreed with us in this point.
