Inspirational Artwork -Modern street.

Post by Anthony Bennett »

Just last week, the City Council of Bristol United Kingdom decided to take a leaf out of Melbourne,Australia's book and make a run down street in the city centre more attractive.
Costing £80,000 they gave permission to invited street artists from around the world to come and paint legally where normally they would be arrested.
The council provided everything to make this happen including the Health and Safety Look outs for the Cherry Pickers. Most if not all of the work was done at night, with finishing done during the day.

I visited yesterday (Sunday) to take photographs . Nothing by Banksey.

I marvelled at what can be done and got inspired from some of what I saw, maybe if you have a look you will too.
There are 67 photos in all.
