What is Metropolink?
METROPOLINK has been changing the perspective on the city since 2015.
Over 50 world-renowned artists, including stars of the scene such as Demsky, PichiAvo, Bordalo II, Hendrik Beikirch, Sam3 or Herakut, visited Heidelberg and its region to create art for a large audience. Walls, buildings and public spaces have been transformed into works of art ever since.
The festival, under the patronage of Heidelberg's Lord Mayor Prof.Dr. Eckart Würzner, is closely linked to the theme of urban development.
METROPOLINK sees artistic interventions in public space as a way of reclaiming it for the community. Public exchange is desired and cultural bridges are to be built in the context of art in public space.
In 2023, the METROPOLINK Festival will start its ninth edition. The former US military settlement Patrick-Henry-Village not only offers space for creative experiments or numerous workshops, light shows and delicious food. With a carefully selected line-up of bands and musicians, the organisers manage to bring the audience to the boil every year! If you're not into dancing, you can just lie on the street corner and gaze up at the illuminated summer sky.
With the conversion of the former supermarket into a centre for urban art (Metropolink's Commissary), Metropolink is pursuing a sustainable and medium-term concept to position Heidelberg as a beacon for urban art, digitisation, and the arts.
