Event Details

The Cornell Club invites you to a guided urban art city tour organized with Artstübli, Basel’s expert in urban art and graffiti. For over a decade, Artstübli has offered immersive tours led by artists and insiders who reveal the stories behind the works scattered across the cityscape.

Our guide will take us through Basel’s streets to explore a wide range of techniques and styles (from classic graffiti to contemporary street art) created by both Swiss and international artists. The tour highlights how these creatives respond to the unique cultural and physical environment of each site.

After the tour, we will gather for an aperitif at Ufer7, a stylish terrace on the Rhein near the tour’s end. It is the perfect spot to relax and connect with fellow Cornellians over drinks and light bites.
