"The Arcueil and Gentilly itinerary proposes to discover the numerous works of street art of 2 cities: Gentilly and Arcueil. On the way, the paintings of different artists will be presented and told to you!
It all starts in the melting pot of the Cité-Universitaire for an exploration of the Grand-Paris from the Street-Art route, which opens new mural perspectives. The adventure is initiated by local artists, supported by the public authorities.
Once crossed the barrier of the ring road, major place of the walls because of the COP21, we will leave along the church built for the Universal Exhibition of 1889, also place of parietal expression, to meet the artists who animate the city.
Winding through the small streets of Gentilly after its Urban Farm, we will head towards Arcueil following the route of the latest paintings of the association Les ricochets sur les pavés, up to the old road of the Bièvre, in contact with the many artists who line it."

GRAFFITI/MURAL WORKSHOP
"Our initiation to graffiti workshops are designed for anyone, with or without any previous experience in art. Did you ever try to spray paint on the wall? It is much harder than it seems! Mastering the medium takes years of practice, but with the help of our professional artists, you can easily make your first step."
➛ The tour was presented as a brochure and a can of spraypaint tucked into the front pocket of a pair of overalls. She'd tied a bow around the whole thing lovingly to present it as a package, and she'd grinned when she'd handed it over. Something about making their own painting at home, but maybe they'd be able to leave a mark on the world outside too.
