ABC URBAN ARTS FESTIVAL | Crafts, Design and Street Art

This year’s ABC Urban Arts Festival took place in Amsterdam at the Spui-square in front of the American Book Center. Booths packed with artists, crafters, authors and designers were set up showing current work as well demonstrations, workshops and live creations. A nice sunny Saturday full of great work and creative people. More info and photos after the jump, and make sure you take a look through the artists’ websites…
