A school with the purpose of overcoming stereotypes about graffiti as something ugly, dirty and incomprehensible has been operating in Varna since 2019. Often the attitude towards graffiti artists is towards "people without jobs who know only how to destroy freshly painted public spaces". The truth is that like most creative professions we are used to living with, this type of art can also turn into one’s profession.
Established in Varna, the school aims for artists to pass on their knowledge to all who are willing to learn the intricacies of graffiti. The trainings take the form of outdoor workshops, transforming the urban environment.
"Every city needs a territory in the center that is free for painting and popularizes this type of art," says the graffiti school creator Damyan Nikolov, who has repeatedly submitted proposals to the Municipality of Varna for the transformation of various places of the city into zones where people can draw. So far, however, his efforts have remained without success.
