“A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not”- Leonardo Da Vinci.
In the year 2011, the IAA/ AIAP (International Association of Art) declared April 15, the
birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, as World Art Day. Since its inception, this special day has been promoting and celebrating art in all its glorious forms. So, this year, Holidayme brings to you a list of
7 artistically vibrant cities to see charismatic street art on World Art Day.
1. Buenos Aires, Argentina
There are cities in the world where creating graffiti and street art requires permission from the authorities. In some cities, street art is banned. But not Buenos Aires- all an artist needs is permission from the property owner and then they can go wild with their colourful imagination!
2. Mexico City, Mexico
The best way to explore the vibrant pulse of Mexico City is to take a walking tour of its street art. And, the best areas to see street art in the city are La Roma, Condesa, Calle Regina and Paseo de la Reforma.
3. London, UK
If you want to see chaotically beautiful street art in stark contrast to high-end boutiques and famous Michelin-starred restaurants, head over to Shoreditch or Hackney or Brick Lane in London!
4. Valparaiso, Chile
It won't be wrong if we claim that Valparaiso in Chile is one of the biggest open-to-air street art museum in the world. With the entire city having street art on display at every corner you turn, this place will possibly bring out the hidden artist in you!
5. Melbourne, Australia
The street art scene in Melbourne is as colourful as it is charismatic. Fondly called “graffiti laneways", the street art destinations in Melbourne include ACDC Lane, Hosier Lane, Croft Alley and Union Lane.
