the street is our gallery

August 09, 2017 to August 13, 2017

Graffiti jam, street art, dance battles, exhibitions, conferences and more await you at the festival this year!Started in 1996 by graffiti writers Seaz and Flow, Under Pressure is the largest and longest running event of its kind all across North America. It is a urban culture festival which focuses on community development, artist empowerment as well as positive youth development through ownership and responsibility of a shared space. Thanks to the implication all its volunteers, Under Pressure has been able to be kept alive for now twenty two years, to celebrate the different elements of urban culture (graffiti, street dancing, deejaying, emceeing and skateboarding). #upmtl

Under Pressure is since 2012 under the non-profit organization CICU (Convention internationale de la culture urbaine).
