Street Art on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse

This street art, initially at odds with official organizations, has become an emblem of Lyon’s artistic revival.

We bring together artists from Lyon and beyond, each with a different style, recognizable to the most initiated.
Today, Lyon continues to be a breeding ground for artists who take to the streets like an open-air gallery.

Street art, by definition ephemeral, is made up of paper collages, frescoes, stencils, mosaics, vinyl and plant moss, all of which demonstrate the extraordinary inventiveness of these artists, who chose the Croix-Rousse as the initial cradle of their creations, and have since spread to other parts of Lyon...

>p>EM’arts, one of the first galleries dedicated to Street Art, will be our exclusive Only Lyon partner to finish this tour and discover our artists, or even to do a workshop with one of them!
