Graffiti na Gradele is a regional graffiti festival which is being held for the fifth jubilee time at Bol on Brač, on the grounds of Fabrika, a former fish factory and abandoned hotel Bijela Kuća. This is a non-profit, fully voluntary initiative of young people, which aims to gather as many young graffiti artists and musicians from all over the region, in order to turn Bol into a small urban Mecca for a few days of summer, to create a platform for networking, new collaborations, creative work and good companionship, and to bring life to the abandoned and dilapidated hotel complex “Bijela kuća”.
During the festival, numerous graffiti workshops are organized for children and youth, exhibitions of young artists, skateboarding and sports events, and throughout the day visitors will have at their disposal the lounge area right next to the beach.
List of participating graffiti writers includes some of the currently most powerful and most active regional names: Lonac, Lunar, Artez (Belgrade), Chez186, Wuper (Belgrade), Azram (Ljubljana), Artuditu, Bare Pimp my Pump, Modul Osam, Mane Mei, Sarme, Anxio, Supernia, Hana, Casino, Royal, Nikola Mihajlović (Belgrade) and Wens.
Participation has also been confirmed by the following musicians: High5, Krešo i Žuvi, Kuku$, Tibor, Žaegulj i Geralt iz Rivije, Tone Tuoro, Toxara, Zembo i DaMental and Marchello Mede, while the DJ program will be in the hands of Blaw:Blaw, Oliver (Bassinga), VRH, Tikach, Sinke Fresh, Niki Peducci, Vuk Oreb and Juicy Croatia.
Although the festival is of non-profit and voluntary character, tickets are not charged for any part of the program and the entry is free for all. Also, visitors of the festival will receive a festival bracelet, which will open them a number of discounts on various services around Bol.
