Description
The South’s Largest Live Mural Festival Returns to San Antonio to Showcase the World’s Best Artists

The sixth incarnation of Clogged Caps live art festival will feature the world’s best photorealistic muralists, Ma’Claim Crew, from Germany, 60+ of the US’s top artists plus world famous DJs Cut Chemist (of Jurassic 5 & Ozomatli) Shortkut, Apollo & more.

After carving a unique niche & a cult following since its 2001 inception, the Clogged Caps Aerosol Art Festival is back by popular demand for the first time in over three years. This festival has spawned a movie & a never ending buzz. The Prhymemates Collaborative & LAWS Crew continue to redefine the creative limits of the festival by importing the best & brightest aerosol artists from Europe & several major US cities.

This year’s featured headlining artists are the world renowned Ma’Claim Crew, a collective of brilliant photorealistic art minds from East Germany who have created some of the most prestigious commissioned walls around the world. Ma’Claim will be joined by German female artist Hera, of Herakut. Clogged Caps 6 will mark their first time ever painting on Texas soil. http://maclaim.blogspot.com/ , www.herakut.de/
