Back in 2020, our urban explorer buddy @tobi_urbex introduced us to his friend @crazy_mister_sketch. He is a professional muralist from Innsbruck, Austria, who loves to create street art in abandoned places. We joined him in Northern Italy, where he painted on the premises of a former Cold War military base, and together we discussed if graffiti is art or vandalism. You can watch the result in an older video of ours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wUXQSuAG8Q

At the beginning of 2022, Crazy Mister Sketch reached out to us again. He told us about his middle school being abandoned and his idea to save the structure. So, Sketch organized a graffiti jam in his old home village and brought together street artists from different countries - the name of the event: Klassentreffen (school reunion) Festival. On a weekend in May 2022, 60 artists were breathing new life into the neglected school building.

This was just the first big event here. An association was formed called "Eigentlich Kultur", aiming to build a social platform in the middle of the Austrian Alps. They want to make cultural interaction possible in this rural area by creating places and events where people meet. The abandoned school has a new purpose now. But the association needs funds to cover the expenses and keep this project running. Learn more by following the link at the top. #graffiti #abandonedplaces #bwturbex
