The city of Bandol launches its first edition of "Bandol Street Art" from October 27th to 30th, inaugurating a new cultural dynamic with an XXL mural creation on the Tourist Office wall.

This initiative marks the beginning of a collective adventure aimed at integrating urban art into Bandol's identity. The first XXL artistic performance will bring together the creative universes of three artists: Steve Gerard (Soen), Guillaume L’Hérisson (Wan Abime), and Frank Pireyre (Rest4), who will collaborate to create a mural that will transform the Bandol landscape.
This artwork is a foundational step for the "Bandol Street Art" project, which seeks to bring contemporary creation closer to the public and make the artistic experience accessible to all. The mural will take shape as the artists work, offering a unique opportunity to observe the creative process and how a space can be transformed by art.
This first work will kick off an artistic trail set to grow over the seasons, with regular artist welcomes during major annual events like school holidays, Christmas, and carnival.
In parallel, a creative workshop will be held on the afternoon of Thursday, October 29th, with Bandol Jeunes, inviting younger participants to discover and experiment with street art in a fun and friendly way, thus introducing children to contemporary creation.
The City aims to sustain this momentum by developing several permanent artworks in different locations in Bandol year after year, creating an artistic trail open to both residents and visitors.
