- Baltimore Street Art ::: 08/30/10
Perusing the NRDC blog I came across yet another interesting post by Kaid Benfield, this one citing the value of street art as a means of enlivening urban streetscapes. I immediately began scouring the web for images of street art in our own city, and I wasn’t disappointed. Unsurprisingly there’s a huge underground culture devoted to the format—the blog “Steady”, along with several independently maintained Flickr accounts, testify to the strength of an art that most city-goers take for granted.
