It is a contemporary, artistic movement bringing together all forms of art created in public spaces (street, fronts of buildings). Artists, and also institutions, are increasingly feeling the need to transform urban space in a different way. And questions are being raised regarding the place of these works of art and their integration into the urban landscape.<\/p>\n<h2>Initiatives are becoming more prevalent<\/h2>\n<p>Several discussions have already begun on this subject. For example, in Brussels, an exhibition, <a href=\"http:\/\/beingurban.be\/post\/115749973066\/les-m%C3%A9tropoles-actuelles-superposent-les-r%C3%A9cits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Being Urban<\/a>, which ran from April to July 2015, aimed to provide a collaborative space (for artists and the public, amongst others) where you can reflect on the place of art in urban narratives. The stories, suggestions and experiences gained are set to be published by the end of the year to show the outcome of these discussions.<\/p>\n<h2>Street Art in approved spaces<\/h2>\n<p>Cities are also starting to take an interest in this new art form.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Brussels, for example, decided to transform the normal lighting on part of Avenue Franklin Roosevelt into a purplish red light, an installation set up by French artist San Damon. The project was supported by the Minister of Mobility.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/oniroscopisme-3.jpg\" alt=\"oniroscopisme\" width=\"635\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/oniroscopisme-3.jpg 635w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/oniroscopisme-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/oniroscopisme-3-350x233.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fr.actuphoto.com\/30957-san-damon-oniroscopisme-dans-la-ville.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And in Montreal, the Mural festival is held every year.
