Valladolid Transforms Sports Complex Wall Into Open-Air Art Gallery
Valladolid, Yucatan — Urban art took over the streets of Valladolid during the second day of the “De la calle pa’ la calle” festival, where more than 30 artists transformed the wall of the local sports complex into a massive open-air gallery.
Using spray cans, brushes, and plenty of creativity, participants created colorful works that drew the attention of attendees. The festival brought together local and visiting talent, offering a space to express their art and connect with the public through large-format murals and graffiti.
The pieces span a variety of styles and themes, from urban culture-inspired works to more abstract and contemporary designs, turning the site into one of the most striking spots in the municipality.
“De la calle pa’ la calle” continues to establish itself as a platform that promotes urban art in Yucatan and introduces these expressions to new generations.
