There's something special about street art. Perhaps it's the fact that it's always free to enjoy. Maybe it is the sense of community and camaraderie that often surrounds it. Or perhaps it's just the fact that it could brighten up an otherwise dreary concrete jungle. Whatever the reason, we think street art is pretty terrific—and we think you will too, once you check out these five reasons why.
Street art is for everyone
One of the best things about street artwork is that it is inclusive. Unlike a lot of other forms of art, you don't need a diploma or any sort of training to enjoy it— all you need is an appreciation for creativity. What's more, because street artwork is typically found in public spaces, it's completely free to appreciate. Just take a stroll through your local downtown area or pay a visit to some well-known graffiti hot spots like 5 Pointz in New York or The Graffiti Tunnel in Toronto, and you're guaranteed to find some awesome pieces of artwork to admire.
It brings people together
Street artwork usually has a way of bringing individuals together— both the artists and the viewers. In cities all around the world, there are entire communities of graffiti artists who support and inspire each other regularly. If you are interested in meeting some fellow street artwork aficionados, many cities also host regular meetups and tours where like-minded people can come together to appreciate some amazing public artwork.
It beautifies our surroundings
We spend a lot of time walking around city streets day in and day out, so why not make those streets as beautiful as possible? Street artwork does just that by turning concrete jungles into open-air galleries. In addition to including some much-needed color and life into our cities, street artwork can also help to tell stories and spark important conversations about social issues— making our city environments not only prettier but also much more meaningful places to be.
Look at our best art community.
It tells powerful stories
The best street art alway has a story to tell— whether it is a personal story about the artist or perhaps a political{statement about the world we live in now. Either way, these stories have a way of resonating with us on a deep level, encouraging us to check out the world from a different viewpoint and perhaps even motivating us to effect change in our own lives and communities.
It makes our cities more vibrant places to live.
When you think about it, wouldn't you rather live in a city with vibrant murals on every corner than blank walls? We know we would! Not only do lively streets make for much better tourist destinations (which can increase a city's economy), but they also make residents feel happy with where they live— fostering a greater sense of community pride overall. So next time you see a blank wall begging to be filled with some color, don't be scared to suggest bringing in some professional street artists to liven things up!
