Every year WAT creates unique atmosphere of art all over the city presenting the artists’ works in such unusual places like the hotels, metro stations or office buildings. 
coordinated by Magda Wicherkiewicz.
The 2007 edition will be a combination of traditional exhibition of art and the presentation of art in the city’s open space – we want to illuminate the art works on the major Warsaw buildings. We hope that in the future the Walking Art Tour lighting will attract millions of foreign tourists wishing to experience art shown in such unusual open air way.
