Living Walls In Atlanta

From Eyedrum Galleries and NPR

"Living Walls" Street Art Exhibit

 

(2010-08-16)

ATLANTA, GA (WABE) - For the next six weeks, Eyedrum is going to be home to an avant-garde collection of various forms of street art. This exhibition marks the culmination of a week-long event in which artists have come from all around the U.S., South America, and Europe to participate. An artist who wouldn't give his name, but rather his monkier, Doodles, has come to Atlanta several times in the past to work on various pieces around town.

"Everyone's just been super friendly. Unlike going to a place like New York where it's very competitive and chaotic, Atlanta is a little more laid back, and a little more optimistic, and hopeful."

Other examples can be found in legally approved places, mostly along Dekalb Ave.
