For the first time in 2021, the Schaubudenkunst festival took place on Hauptstraße, in the heart of the city of Dresden. Artists and festival organizers alike were extremely pleased with how well the new concept was received by the numerous visitors. Many of the people, including many guests of our city, let themselves be spontaneously captured by the artists and thus became part of the festival to their own surprise and delight and visibly enjoyed it. Almost 10,000 visitors strolled along Hauptstraße and gave us the courage to think about a new edition in 2022.
On three days from 12 to 14 July 2022, starting in the afternoon at 2 pm between 6 and 10 companies and individual artists will present their art at different points on Hauptstraße. We will redesign the entire street and transform it into a living work of art. Spectators can come specifically, but also stroll, stop and let themselves be taken into another reality.
The participating artists will receive a fixed fee. In addition, travel expenses, accommodation and meals will be covered. The most important source of income for the Schaubudensommer has been the entrance fee, which the spectators used to pay per show. As we can not sell tickets in this new setting and our resources are limited, we are happy if you help building and maintaining our infrastructure and make the festival happen with your donations.
In the summer of 2022, we want to show that the street art scene has become more professional in the last decades, that it can be quiet and poetic, but also loud and pretentious, and that it can operate in the smallest of spaces, but also occupy extensive areas. We would like to create a festival of street theatre, street music and urban art that shines beyond the region and this city.
Your donations will help realising this.
Reclaim the streets!
