Ourcq Living Colors, festival street-art

Ourcq Living Colors is a street-art festival that has been taking place in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, more precisely in the  Ourcq district, for 12 years. It is organized by the collective Cultures Pas Sages. Supported by the graffiti artist dAcRuZ, this association aims to tighten the social fabric of this multicultural neighborhood in constant movement by organizing collaborative cultural events.

There will be no Ourcq Living Colors Festival in 2022.

Artists are invited to collaborate on a work in groups of two or three and have 24 hours to decide on the piece they will create during the weekend.

• Last year, during the Ourcq Living Colors Festival 12 artists came to paint at the level of the Ourcq canal to replace the works of the 2019 edition, located under the bridge at 26 quai de la Marne.

The Ourcq district is close to the bassin de la Villette and the canal de l'Ourcq. See our pages dedicated to the street art itinerary along the canal and to street art in the 93.
