Originally born as a tool for managing bookings for artists, Arthecity is now a powerful tool for creating a cultural, ethical and supportive community. Arthecity is in fact a platform through which administrations, artists and citizens can dialogue for enhancement of street arts, meant as an instrument of economic growth, social cohesion and cultural and touristic development. This can include Municipalities that regulate the phenomenon in a welcoming way, artists who know how to respect places around them, citizens who want to contribute to the development and transformation of their everyday living places. Finally, Arthecity is an open collaborative platform, developed starting from the Fedro project of Plastic Jumper srl, able to propose hereafter further services for the community developed also by third parties.
