Urban art and music unite Amsterdam and Milan for three days

L’arte urbana e la musica uniscono Amsterdam e Milano per tre giorni

MUROMi, an independent Milan-based company, is launching a special Milan edition of Here&Now, a cultural event originally created in Amsterdam by Tony Ant and Chinny Bond. Taking place May 21–23, 2026, at Spazio Diaz in Milan, the event combines live painting, music, and contemporary urban art, aiming to bring together creatives, brands, and key figures from the Milanese scene. The project is born from a collaboration between MUROMi and the Here&Now community, which is rooted in international street culture and music.

This initiative matters because it represents a deliberate effort to break down barriers between artistic disciplines and foster authentic connections between urban art, music, and international communities. By importing Amsterdam's collaborative, boundary-free creative spirit to Milan, MUROMi is creating a new model for independent cultural platforms that prioritize inclusivity, real-time artistic creation, and cross-city dialogue. The event also signals a growing trend of grassroots, curatorially driven formats that blend visual art and music in immersive, accessible ways.
