There's something special about street artwork. Perhaps it's the fact that it's usually free to enjoy. Perhaps it's the sense of community and camaraderie that usually surrounds it. Or even it is just the fact that it can brighten up an otherwise dreary concrete jungle. Regardless of the reason, we think street art is pretty good—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's inclusive. Unlike a lot of other forms of artwork, you don't need a degree or any sort of training to enjoy it— all you need is an appreciation for creativity. What's more, because street artwork is typically located in public areas, it is completely free to enjoy. 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 wonderful pieces of artwork to admire.
It brings people together
Street artwork often has a way of bringing people together— both the artists as well as the viewers. In cities all around the world, there are entire communities of graffiti artists who support and encourage one another regularly. If you are interested in meeting some fellow street art aficionados, many cities also host regular meetups and tours where like-minded individuals can come together to appreciate some awesome 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 art 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 discussions about social problems— making our city environments not only prettier but also more meaningful places to be.

It tells powerful stories
The best street art alway has a story to tell— whether it's a personal story about the artist or 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 perspective and maybe 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 citizens 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, do not be scared to suggest bringing in some expert street artists to liven things up!
