Street art has a long history, dating back to the earliest cave paintings where hunters would document their experiences and express their emotions through art. Today, street art continues to serve as a means of self-expression and storytelling. Whether drawing from our past or imagining our future, street art captures powerful emotions and inspires hope and dreams.

The origin of street art in America can be traced back to New York and Philadelphia, but it has now spread throughout the nation. Typically, street art is seen in urban areas that are economically deprived, such as abandoned buildings and vacant lots. It is a means for locals to express their feelings of despair, make social commentary, or assert their territorial dominance. Street art can also serve as a way to mark a specific area with a name, gang tag, or graffiti. For young people who feel invisible, street art can be a creative outlet for leaving their mark on the world. In addition, street art has been a platform for artists to challenge and violate the societal norms, inspiring cultural change.

Many street artists are deeply interested in economics, politics, and culture. They thrive on the concept of “What if…”. By challenging common ideologies, they inspire us to think outside the box. Street artists often have numerous ideas swirling around in their minds until they stumble upon the perfect surface or location, and that’s when their art truly comes to life.
