Created for North West Walls 2024, check the full history here
North West Walls is a stacked shipping containers installations at Rock Werchter, transformed each year into a new open‑air street‑art gallery. Since 2014, it has served as a permanent structure with ever‑changing artwork, proving that large‑scale visual art can thrive at a music festival.
Curated annually by Belgian artist Arne Quinze, the project invites six international street artists to repaint the containers, giving them a vast outdoor canvas exposed to weather, music, and thousands of visitors. The installation acts as a landmark between festivals, then is reborn each summer with new stories and styles. Over a decade, it has showcased artists from around the world, each leaving a mark on the project’s evolving identity. As it celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025, North West Walls continues its mission: bringing art into unexpected spaces and sparking emotion in everyone who encounters it.
