I have moved to Bristol from France 2 years ago and I was impressed by the creative vibes you can feel just wandering around its streets. There are loads of street art and graffiti pieces to see. It’s good to remind people that streets belong to everybody, and artists are free to express themselves on the walls. I found this street art website really interesting, it collects pictures of street art from different areas of Bristol and shows you where the pieces are located on the map. Photographers and artists can also submit their pictures to expand the collection.

There is an exhibition dedicated to street art at The Royal West Of England Academy in Bristol at the moment, it runs until the 2nd May 2009. It is called ‘Crimes of Passion’ and features some of the best-known street and graffiti artists from Bristol.
You can see some photos of the exhibition here:
