On 1 April, Tourism Ostend, in collaboration with Street Art Cities, is organising the Expert Conference, the professional section of The Crystal Ship Summit. This afternoon event brings together an international network of professionals from the fields of culture, tourism and street art to share knowledge and discuss current issues within the field.
Keynotes and panel discussions will explore themes such as artistic freedom in public spaces, the social impact of street art and the interaction between street art and tourism.
