You’ve come a long way, baby. What once started as a fairly intimate get-together between POW! WOW! founder, Jasper Wong, and some like-minded art friends in Hong Kong, has evolved into one of the world’s biggest art parties, that takes over Hawaii each year.

Well, it’s been five years since that first gathering in Honkers and now the contemporary street art and culture event is expanding to Taiwan. This May 28th to June 3rd, 2014, will see Pow! Wow! establish itself in Taipei for the first time and Taiwanese artists will have a chance to paint murals with internationally recognised creatives from across the globe. 2014 will be the biggest year for POW! WOW! so far, with events taking place in Hawaii, Taiwan, and Israel. Best of all, all events are free to the public, so if you need to escape the cold in Oz for an East Asian jaunt, now might just be the time.

Check the calendar of events below, imagery from the amazing roster of artists above and hit the POW! WOW! Taiwan Facebook page for more details.
