All about Street Art
Street art is artwork created in public places, such as walls, bridges and underpasses. It includes murals, graffiti, stencils and wheatpaste posters. Street art can brighten up a neighbourhood and share messages with people who might never visit a gallery.
Street art is best done with permission from the owner of the wall or building. Painting on property without permission is illegal in many places, so ask an adult and the owner before starting any project.
