BUILT ON LOCAL GRAFFITI CULTURE, GO FOR A WALK AROUND NÆSTVED Experience this wonderful city and enjoy the DATING BACK TO 1984 murals carefully integrated in the city scape

Some murals will disappear and new ones will be added, continuously. Næstved Kunstby is the result of a unique and self-organized graffiti tradition, which for more than 30 years has granted Næstved a special status within international graffiti and hip-hop culture.

Hip hop and graffiti culture came to and to Næstved more than 30 years ago. Since that time the city has continuously had several unofficial street galleries. For this reason Næstved has always had a regular flow of visiting graffiti artists from all over the world.

INTERNATIONAL GRAFFITI CULTURE All the works belonging to Næstved Kunstby are made by an array of in- ternational artists selected and curated because of their focused efforts and commitment to graffiti culture.

Eachartist belonging to Næstved Kunstby comes from the graffiti culture and plying their skills in the streets was always part of growing up.Their learning and development came from hours of dedication in the streets or by the rail- road tracks as opposed to training in art schools and professional environ- ments. Subsequently, they now do more than just create works of art.They all actively contribute to the culture of hip hop and both inspire and educate young talents worldwide.This was also a driving force behind their agreeing to participate in this project.

This is the amazing, untold story on which Næstved Kunstby is built. None of itwould have been possible without this network, the graffiti, the graffiti artists themselves and plenty of initiative.
