Courage_2 (2015) by BtoyStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
BTOY is considered to be one of the top 5 stencil artist in the world. She is not new to SAMA, as somehow we end up making projects every year. An illegal work that took only 30 minutes to make.
Courage (2015) by BtoyStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The artwork became an inspiration for FIND ME IF YOU CAN Game . Those local residents who would find all of the 10 artworks placed on electricity boxes around the area would get FREE museum card.
This way we would inspire those with low income to 'earn' one year free access to all museums, and make a connection between our neighbourhood and more formal institutions in the centre of the city.

Walking alone_2 by Icy&SotStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
This little boy is walking along a bridge. One day I saw a contractor painting over the graffiti in white. I asked him if he will paint over the Boy too? His reply was magic: No, because this is art.

Hope_4 by KenorStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
At the end of 2015, the housing corporation Rochdale installed lights on all of the murals that belong to them. This created a year long light show worthy of visiting on its own merits.

Future (2015) by MataOne and Team BlazinStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The wall facing De Huygens College was a product of collaboration between MATAONE (BE), TEAMBLAZIN (NL) and 120 students. During the course of 6 calligraffiti workshops our crew collected words from the experience.
Future_3 (2015) by MataOne and Team BlazinStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The words that provide background to a NAME, thus exploring the concept of ONE existing in the matrix of ALL, whilst examining the FUTURE.
Future_4 (2015) by MataOne and Team BlazinStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
MATAONE's mastership of free style spray paint technique allows him to turn 7 letters into an abstract masterpiece that not only evokes respect but also ignites imagination.
Street Art Museum Amsterdam - Morcky (IT)Street Art Museum Amsterdam
MORCKY is an Italian illustrator and street artist, a philosopher, a writer and a very witty guy in general. His art is a mix of abstract forms with figurative elements. In this case- find a salami!
When the smoke goes up (2015) by MorckyStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
What if good and evil didn’t really exist? Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy skyline, shaping life a constant battle between our will, our desires and celestial influence.
When the smoke goes up_2 by MorckyStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
In our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be, we are. In the artist’s vision the smoke expresses the GOOD as an organic form in a continuous evolution and transformation.
When the smoke goes up_3 by MorckyStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
Always in a fight with its enemy the EVIL pictured in the wall with the representation of monoliths, symbols of austerity and tyranny. The artwork was donated by Celand.

Last donut (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
OakOak's gift to SAMA was a thank you for the Office Walk with a Twist Project. A joke is on Banksy's A girl with a Balloon and the resemblance is uncanny.

OAKOAK is a French artist who works with multi-media and situational artworks normally based on or inspired by cartoons. But with Office Walk with a Twist project it was all about a cupcake and fans.

Joker (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The Juggler is a hand-painted paste up with wheat paste. An eco-technique used by many street artists today. OAKOAK likes to put emphasis on rails - one of the most taken for granted things.
Candle (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The Candle is lit for the victims of Paris attack, which took place only 2 weeks before the project commenced.
Plots afraid of a rubbish bin (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam

Smile (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam

Zebra man (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The Push is about team work and ability to get things done together. But it all starts with the first push.

Skiman (2015) by OakOakStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
The Skier is another playful take on the rails in a parking garage. "I pass here every day and I never paid attention. Now I will be looking for art everywhere!" is the best compliment we got so far!
Tres (2015) by Suso33Street Art Museum Amsterdam
A quick illegal piece left during the residency of SUSO33 in Amsterdam.
Human Tick (2015) by Suso33Street Art Museum Amsterdam
The unusual artwork is located on the wall inside of the SAMA HQ Gallery and is a quick "gift idea" from SUSO33 during his residency in Amsterdam.
Curiosity (2015) by Suso33Street Art Museum Amsterdam
The difficult wall was an assignment only a master of SUSO33 caliber could fix.
The tree and the 20 year old throw-up by JUICE were the main obstacles.
Curiosity_4 (2015) by Suso33Street Art Museum Amsterdam
SUSO33 started his artist career on the streets of Madrid working in bright colours depicting splashes and graffiti bombs. He skilfully merged JUICE's piece with his stylish composition.
Although initially a challenge, the tree proved to be an interesting twist, as you can only see the full artwork in the ugliest season - Winter - when the tree is naked and has lost its leaves.
"Catch a Bunny" Street Game (2015) by Street Art Museum AmsterdamStreet Art Museum Amsterdam
