# CityLeaks - Urban Art Festival

It’s urban art festival time in Germany, what’s a good reason for all of you to travel the forgotten, abandoned or public places and spaces in [Berlin](/urban-artbase-grabowsee-impressions/), [Saxony](/ibug-2011-urban-culture-festival/) or even Cologne...

Artrmx and Colorrevolution are going to present the international urban art festival *CityLeaks* in Cologne this year! Artists from all over the world are invited to create large-scale murals, paste-ups and installations in public spaces, house fronts, off-locations and galleries during the festival’s outdoor action-week. Well-known urban artists like **Blu**, (who already created the first mural) [**Emess**](/emess-city-music-stockholm/), [**El Bocho**](/mural-art-el-bocho-live-in-berlin/), [**Faith47**](/faith47-lost-spaces/), [**Jim Avignon**](/jim-avignon-wallbreakers-final/), [**Roa**](/roa/), [**Sam3**](/sam3-mural-in-poland/), [**Smash137**](/graffiti-without-caps-smash137-risk/), [**Stefan Strumbel**](/stefan-strumbel-the-clockmakers-retreat/), **Zedz** and others already agreed, what makes *CityLeaks* becoming probably the biggest urban art festival on continental Europe.

I’m really happy with all these superb urban art events and hope to have enough time to visit them all...By the way, also in France the [*Crimes of Minds*](/french-urban-art-event-crimes-of-minds/) festival is still running!
