The Ibug Festival for Urban Art in Chemnitz comes to an end with a record number of visitors. According to preliminary estimates by the organizers, over 35,000 visitors came to this year's "brownfield transformation" - Ibug for short - over three weekends.
Every year, the Ibug Festival transforms brownfields into galleries for urban art at different locations. This year, a former hospital in Chemnitz was chosen for the event. The weather, the fact that it is being held as part of the European Capital of Culture year in Chemnitz and the fact that it is open on three weekends (at smaller venues, the Ibug sometimes only opens on two weekends) have ensured a high level of interest from the organizers' point of view.
