Es Baluard host as current every year the global event Wallpeople, in this case with the motto "Music Edition". On June 1, 2013, anonymous citizens will become protagonist artists, with their works, at outdoor galleries all around the world. The street art movement Wallpeople wants people to speak freely and share their creativity with others at street level. Every year, the organization offers a different theme, and in this fourth edition the main inspiration is music.

One of the most special things is that music knows no boundaries, is present in all cultures and is able to influence and merge with any form of art or expression. For these reasons, it's the star in Wallpeople 2013. Attendees will participate in two ways:

Reinterpreting a song in the art form they choose: illustration, photography, text, painting, collage, fabric, etc.
Creating any work related to music in general. For example: a tribute to an artist, a concert, a musical moment, his musical roots…

At the end of the exhibition participants will exchange their works between them. In Spain the event takes place, in addition to Palma, in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Santander, Gijon, Leon, Cordoba and Malaga.
