UAMO Festival Munich

UAMO – URBAN ART AND MEDIA ORGANIZATION


UAMO

was a non-profit organization from 2007 to 2016.
It was the first Munich-based institution that organized worldwide, topic-based contemporary art exhibitions and a gathering of all artists and works during the annual UAMO festival in Munich.

On this page, you can find documentation of all events.


WHAT WE DID


The organization's intention was to support national and international artists on an interdisciplinary level. Since its foundation in 2003, the non-profit association annually organized a four-day art festival in the city of Munich. The festival's theme, to which the artists could present their works, varied each year.

UAMO considered itself a platform for artists of all kinds, and thus, since the first festival in 2004 up until then, more than 300 artists from over 20 countries presented their works. The festival connected local visitors together with artists and their views on the UAMO topic.

The comprehensive supporting program included, besides readings, live acts and evening events, workshops where visitors could become creatively active. Since 2011, apart from the annual art festival in Munich, the UAMO City Tour also took place, focusing on local artists of the respective cities. All works shown on-site could also be seen at the annual UAMO Art Festival.
