The San Lorenzo de El Escorial City Council is preparing the 20th edition of 'Art Takes to the Streets', an event that transforms public spaces into a large open-air exhibition.

The initiative, reaching its twentieth anniversary, aims to bring artistic creation directly and accessibly, moving works out of conventional galleries and allowing creators to interact with the public.
The celebration will take place on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27, consolidating itself as a meeting point for artists, enthusiasts, and visitors in the urban center of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
The exhibition will feature various plastic arts disciplines such as painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture, integrating the urban environment into the cultural experience.
Interested artists must submit an application along with a brief CV. Non-residents must also provide a copy of their ID. Space allocation will be determined by a public lottery at the Casa de Cultura.
Documentation and the participation form are available on the municipal website and at the Casa de Cultura. The City Council reaffirms its commitment to culture and support for artistic creation.
