1st Edition — May 29 to June 1, 2025
For its first edition, Rural Graff took over nine communes in the 3CBO territory for four days, transforming eastern Loiret into a vast open-air art gallery. Six artists from the French street art scene took on the challenge of creating ten mural frescoes in a rural setting, far from the walls of big cities.
The artists Ardif, Cofee, Jo Di Bona, Louyz, Onemizer, and Dave Baranes worked live before the public's eyes in the communes of Courtenay, Château-Renard, Bazoches-sur-le-Betz, Chuelles, La Selle-en-Hermoy, La Selle-sur-le-Bied, Douchy-Montcorbon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and Saint-Hilaire-les-Andrésis.
On Saturday, May 31, the Maison du Manège in Château-Renard hosted a street art workshop open to all from 10 AM to 5 PM, allowing participants to learn urban art techniques under the guidance of professional artists.
The old-school hip-hop evening was a highlight of this inaugural edition, with a free concert by the legendary group Scred Connexion (Koma, Mokless, and DJ Idem), preceded by Sidney, an iconic figure of French hip-hop. A hip-hop dance demonstration by Karima Khelifi and the Compagnie Primitif completed this memorable evening.
An exhibition dedicated to the six artists was presented at the Galerie Solidaire of the Lorenzo Padilla Foundation in Courtenay from May 29 to August 31, 2025, and a fun tourist trail was set up to discover the frescoes throughout the territory.
