adidas Urban Art Guide Berlin

Berlin is well known for it’s amazing urban art scene and local artists, as well as artists from all over the world  come here to present their work.  Strolling around the city is an exciting experience and you can find art work nearly everywhere – but you had to search for it yourself – until now.

Today, adidas Originals is releasing the first mobile Urban Art Guide Berlin for the iPhone. The guide leads you through the city to a curative selection of Graffiti, Pencils, Paste-Ups and Stickers.  In addition, you also get information on the artist and his piece of art.

top young female artists. These multi-cultural artists have learned
how to communicate with a finicky underground audience through
their own unique expressions. Be it graffiti, photography, design,
painting, or hip hop these women are making their voices heard.
Collectively their art is strong, political, beautiful, and conscious.
