On Saturday, Grottaglii, Italy, a town traditionally famous for its ceramics, gained notoriety for arts as the site of The Fame Festival.

Essentially, the premise of the festival is a douzen dope, sleep deprived artists from around the world, painting on everything they can get their hands on in the leading months while hanging out with the locals, enjoying the cultural landscape of the city. This is all followed up by a show summarizing the work at Studiocromie gallery.
