    Used to live in a town that did this. Some of them also had blurbs about the history of the place, which I also thought was pretty cool.

      Oh that’s pretty cool, it’s fascinating and sometimes heartbreaking to learn each towns’ history. I kinda wish they would make the artists name more prominent on them so I could try to find them online and support their work

    I’m so happy when I see art in everyday streets in my town although it’s not so often sadly. But it’s so refreshing and shows that art is not something that specific group of people in specific places can appreciate. Although I don’t know if it’s considered “vandalism” because it’s public property… and that makes it a lot harder to create beautiful stuff.

      Oh yeah me too! Eapecially with all of the boring new boxy architecture replscing older.buildings, its nice to see murals and such. You also made a grest point about that making art more accessible to people, thats super important!

      The artists in town were commissioned to paints these by the city I believe.
