Street Art in Borås

NO LIMIT STREET ART is an unmissable part of the townscape, and it all started with No Limit, which is a large scale wall art festival. The legacy of the festivals can now be explored in the town centre all year round – around 40 murals and numerous street art installations.

 

BORÅS ART BIENNIAL 2024 takes place between 15 June and 15 September, and is the eighth incarnation of this international art biennale.
