24 Street Arts You Want In Your City Now! Jul 31, 2016

We’ve all heard of how art is a creative and beautiful way to express how you feel. For many people, it’s also therapeutic and relaxing. Artists are only just beginning to get recognized and encouraged to set up an exhibition at an art gallery, or have their art on clothes, phone covers, the likes (wink wink). These artists have taken to modern art in forms of graffiti and murals all over their cities to inspire awe from passers-by. They breathe life into daily, drab routes with contemporary paintings over walls and sometimes literally on the street!
