The light seems to be the common pattern of two of the three European capitals of culture this year. Veszprem used as claim of the opening ceremony “Shine”. Timisoara, “"Shine your light - Light up your city!".

The street art open call is closely linked to the visual arts concept of the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture (VEB2023 ECoC) programme; a programme which aims to bring artworks to nontraditional art spaces such as streets, public spaces, walls of buildings and other unconventional locations.

For four days - between 13-16 April 2023 - Veszprém will not only be the 2023 European Capital of Culture, but also the capital of the blues.

From Leeds owls to an Ugly Duckling, magnificent museums to amazing art there’s something for everyone to enjoy this half-term in Leeds.

The European Capital of Culture (ECoC) initiative is the most important programme facet of the European Union's cultural policy.
