Art and culture with international glow In Borås, you can experience worldclass art without any barriers to entry. The city’s development as a gallery filled with art, sculptures and street art has been internationally recognised, and Borås is currently a world leader in street art. So it’s no surprise that residents are proud of their creative and innovative city, where art is uniquely accessible and a natural part of everyone’s daily life. Borås has a long and exciting history as a city of art. The art association of Borås and Sjuhäradsbygden was formed in 1934, and today it is based in the Flaménska Gallery. But only in the past decade has the city truly become established as a cultural destination. Public art in the city centre is a constant presence and more is added all the time thanks to regular events like the No Limit Street Art festival and the Borås International Sculpture Biennial. Another factor that makes Borås a unique cultural destination is that everything is centrally located: in a radius of under 1.5 km, you can enjoy over 100 sculptures, installations, murals, well-known museums and popular galleries.
