The streets of Murcia are filled with art this Christmas with the outdoor exhibition 'Hatching' where ten Murcia artists will create their works on ten giant eggs of 1'80 meters high.
Thus, these ten artists, who have already begun to paint such a peculiar canvas, will express their vision of Murcia and its rich environment and history under the eyes of the pedestrians.
The Department of Employment, Tourism and Culture, headed by Jesús Pacheco, has placed these eggs in ten emblematic squares of the city, where they will remain during the next months for the enjoyment of all Murcia and visitors.
The participating artists are Kraser, Antonio Sánchez, Silvia Viñao, Salvador Torres, Gaby Guillén, Marcos Amorós, Álvaro Peña, José María Garres, Eva Poyato and Katarzyna Rogowicz.
The purpose of this experience never seen in Murcia is to bring the artistic creation process closer to the public.

- Glorieta of Spain: painted by Kraser already finalized.
