This month we’re focusing on the impact of art on our travel psyche. To start things off, we present an article by Trish of OneTravelbloggers!
Street art, Street painting or Sidewalk art you can call it anything and can be found on streets all over the world. The credit to its origin can be given to Britain as a number of street painters were found all over UK and make their full time living by this art. In order to see some of the magnificent works of some great artists around the world you can begin from Denver. All you need to do is to book Cheap Flights to Denver. It hosts the Denver chalk art festival which is a free two day street festival. You can then make your way to other places where you can find some excellent pieces of street art.
Street painting festivals are being organized by many countries all around the world and a large number of artists are participating every year. Lake Worth Street Painting Festival is one of the largest events that take place in the United States. The paintings are an absolute delight to see and give a platform to street painters from all over the world. Street art is widely practiced in all the large cities in the world but there are some key locations where this art from is practiced at a larger scale than any other place in the world, such locations are often visited by international artists where they can exhibit their artwork.

The greatest street art I’ve seen was probably in San Francisco. It’s always fun to stumble on, especially when it’s in alleyways or some hidden place.
Great art in an unexpected place is definitely a pleasant surprise. SF truly does have some amazing street art especially in the Haight. Glad you enjoyed the post, Sheila. Cheers.
I love this shot, so nice to see the artist on top of his work. Great composition.
Thanks! It was a rare chance for me to see a street artist at work.
