StreetArt from home #8: Astrant: Training Grounds 1

in StreetArt2 years ago (edited)

Location

What if you're an up and coming artist, illustrator or painter and you want to give graffiti a try? What you could do, is just go for it and tag something on your neighbors walls.

Doesn't sound like a great a idea, but you have that itch, you want to paint something in the outdoors to see if the cans and vibe are your thing. To see how it feels, how you compare to others and make a name for yourself, oh, and without the illegal part of painting on building walls.

For this purpose cultural center Astrant (see my post here) asked the city of Ede for a place where new artists could practice, have fun, and learn. And known names could show of their skill. And Ede delivered.

This "Training ground" spot is located just outside of Ede on the Langekampweg beneath the highway A30, and only accessible by bike or foot.

Here everyone can have a go at graffiti, so almost every week you'll find new pieces. One better than the other. And once every month, Astrant will host a training / gathering and everything will be redone in a particular style, subject or color.

This will be the first post of many, because there are to many pieces to show in one go. So lady's and gentleman, here we go!

Artwork

When you are approaching the location, you will find these spray cans painted on the ground, and you are near.











The start of the "training wall"










































Across the training wall, are 4 pillars which are meant for the more known artists, and this piece is made by W1.

Wow @wazza84 that training wall is pure Inspiration¡¡

Yeah, and the fun part is, that everytime you pass there are new pieces on it, or you discover something new😀

How cool is that 😎😁 a training wall.
Think more cities should do that.
Great works on the wall. Like the entry one. Thanks for sharing @wazza84
Sorry haven’t been around much lately, was on holidays in Paris. Hope to catch up again…
Enjoy your Wednesday 👋🏻☀️

No problemo. Hope you enjoyed your well deserved vacation. Cheers!

Thanks @wazza84 😁 I sure did. It was in one word Amazing!
Loved it all. Such a stunning city. Can’t wait to go back again. The amount of StreetArt I have seen. I never saw so much before… will share them bit by bit 😎🤩 tomorrow the first one.
Cheers! Enjoy your Wednesday further 👋🏻

Great pics about this legal place where artists can practice in all tranquility. On Montreal, there are also places like this one like the Legal Rouen Wall. I really like these initiatives. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Yeah, these are great initiatives. Whats really cool here is that Astrant hosts training days for anyone to join, and they invite great names to come and who are also willing to teach graffiti. Perhaps one day i will join 😉

Yay! 🤗
