Hi friends!
When visiting a place, I love to just meander the streets and soak in the vibes of the city. Finding cool street art is one of my favorite things to do!
I found myself in Austin about a year and a half ago for work and had a morning free to myself. I got a cup of coffee and literally just wandered around the city with the intent of finding street art. It wasn't a hard task! Austin is an epicenter for both music and art, and so this really comes as no surprise.
Some of the pieces were prominently displayed on main roads, but most of them were found in side roads and alleyways. I thought that was really great because it required a bit of exploring to find them. How many times do we just zip through our day, moving from one activity to another without even noticing the beauty around us?
I’m sure this is not a complete list of all the street art in downtown Austin, but I was pretty surprised at how much I found in such a small radius. All of this art was found between 2nd and 7th street downtown.
I'm heading to Austin in just a few short weeks with my sister @maryjaney and tons more awesome steemians to attend the Global Blockbulders Confernece - hosted by @steemcafe and @larrymorrison.
Tickets are only $99 and it is going to be a blaaaast. Mary and I literally have a countdown until we get to fly to warm, sunny Austin and meetup with all you crazies. 😘
Get your tickets HERE.
In the meantime... here's a few snapshots of street art I found to get you stoked for the event!
I hope you enjoyed getting a small glimpse into the art culture of Austin, Texas. This city is bursting with art, music and great food. I can't wait to wander these streets again in just a few short weeks!
Hope to see tons of you there!
