🗼 The first ever Street Art Cities hunter meetup – Paris 2025
What happens when you bring together street art hunters from across the globe in one city? A weekend of murals, laughter, long walks, and a few hundred freshly discovered artworks.
❤️ Destination: Paris
The city of love, light, and walls that never stop talking.
Over 25 hunters from Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Spain, and even as far as Australia and the US came together for our very first official Hunter Meetup.
A weekend filled with book signings, guided tours, live painting, and plenty of spontaneous discoveries around every corner.
📚 Friday: ‘Street Beauty’ book signing
We kicked things off at La Bellevilloise with an exclusive evening celebrating Street Beauty, the debut book by British street art photographer Hannah Judah.
This beautiful coffee table book showcases Hannah’s best shots, an intimate window into the global street art scene.
Among the guests:
✨ Hannah Judah, photographer
🎨 Atma, designer
🖌️ Nerone, Sophi Odling, Mister Copy
📚 Christian Omodeo of Le Grand Jeu bookstore
💬 And our co-founder Tim Marschang, who wrote the book’s foreword
Surprise guests were Temponok and Hélène Planquelle who came for support.
It was an unforgettable night, a mix of artists, collectors, fans, and fellow hunters sharing stories and inspiration. Missed it? No worries: order your copy of the book right here!
“It felt like a family reunion of people who had never met before.”
🚶♀️ Saturday: 20,000 steps of street art
Saturday started at Place d’Italie, where Parisian hunter Isabelle guided us through La Butte-aux-Cailles and the 13th arrondissement, a treasure map of paste-ups, stencils, and massive murals.
Along the way, we:
💍 Crashed a wedding (complete with fireworks, honking cars, and confetti.!)
📸 Bumped into Jana & Js on their way to a signing at Le Lavo/Matik
🎧 Stumbled upon a live jam at the legendary Spot 13
And that was just the morning.
In the afternoon, our OG hunter Ferdinand from Ghent took over in Belleville, leading us through zig-zag streets lined with hidden gems and fresh works by Seth.
We stopped for a well-earned drink at the Belvédère de Belleville, with part of the group already dreaming about the 10-year anniversary of Street Art Cities coming up soon.
The day wrapped up at Le Grand Jeu, where everyone received their exclusive Paris Meetup T-shirt — a well-earned badge of honor.
🦓 Sunday: Zoo Time
Sunday morning was free, though of course hunters being hunters, many still ran into each other while exploring the city.
In the afternoon, a smaller crew gathered for one last adventure: The Zoo Art Show, a raw and fearless exhibition packed with energy, attitude, and graffiti royalty.
Not your quiet white cube kind of show, but a wild celebration of urban culture and creative rebellion.
A perfect finale to a weekend that already felt legendary.
📊 The numbers don’t lie
You hunted hard, and the stats prove it.
During the Paris meetup weekend alone:
🆕 67 artworks were added to the Paris map
🔄 112 artworks were updated
🚫 68 artworks were marked as removed or tagged
👀 And the big one: 698 artworks were marked as seen!
That’s some proper hunting.
🌍 A Wildly Beautiful Beginning
Our first Hunter Meetup wasn’t just a success, it was a reminder of why we started Street Art Cities in the first place:
to connect people through the walls that connect us all.
Already can’t wait to see where the next one takes us. 💥
