Streetart.is

We started this project maybe 2 years ago as huge street art and graffiti fans when we were enjoying the strong community around those art forms on Instagram. Instagram is an incredibly strong, dare I say the strongest platform for visual artists of all types. Most street artists starting using Instagram before Twitter or Facebook. In many cases it is a gateway drug for artists who want to share and promote their own work. It's so perfect for street art, since fans and collectors love to snap shots in the environment, post it to Instagram and hashtag and @ call out the artists. The corpus of street art pics on Instagram is enormous. 👊🏻

@ccarella I love that you are making a place for the artists to shine. I love streetart...I take tons of pictures of streetart, but find myself constantly wondering who is behind each work that I photograph. I also like that you can go into each picture and see where it was photographed. I would love to have a map that I could look at by city (see who has what where) and by artist. 😊

This is great, I am a big fan of street art (ig: shaunspringer) and you seem to have a lot of my favorite artists (Vhils, PixelPancho, etc). I see you are NYC based, it would be great to connect :)
