How can I find people who do street art painting?

 Hello World!

I saw this question online and decided to answer with how I find the artists online, so I will keep this post simple and straight.

1) Social Media : This has to be the first option no doubt, I have always found the artists through either Instagram or Facebook. In fact nowadays the artists seasoned or new to the art sign their artworks or put in their social media handles below their artwork.

2) Art Foundations : Reach out to the dedicated street art foundations eg. St+art India in India.

3) Art Networks : Reach out to the local art networks and organizations because even if it isn't a media they have tried they can guide or be a part of it.

4) Events : Join local art events through which you can stumble upon the the works of those artists or find more information. Eg. Airbnb or Eventbrite

5) You are the artist : Take a spray can and start your creative journey today.

6) Word of mouth : Last but not the least, word of mouth and running queries in your immediate circle sometimes helps out too.

See you later!

Mississauga Chronicles

 Hello Street Art Lovers !

It has been so long since I posted any street art updates or my thoughts when I see them. Even though I haven't been posting much but I have surely maintained the collection.

Now, since I have some time in my hands it has been decided that the posts shall start flowing again. Brace yourselves peeps and prepare to get your minds blown because that's what "Art" does right?

Currently I am between switching jobs and studying (meh) but there is one thing that I don't stop thinking about, "Where will I spot the next beauty?".

When I moved to Mississauga, I was aware of the sculptures and art galleries, what I was not aware about was that there are some hidden gems in this place and as always I happened to spot one during a long walk finding food and the good art makes you forget things like hunger too :D

I see, I stop, everything else has to stop as well, because I need to savor this moment, absorb the colors, understand when it was made, why etc....

Posting my latest find below for you guys as well. I will also be using the same blogpost depending upon my mood to continue posting about the street art specific to this location. 

Person in the Mural : Amália Rodrigues, Queen of Fado

Location: Streetsville, Mississauga (ON)

Artist : Matthew Cadoch

This mural is part of a worldwide project to commemorate Amália Rodrigues, she was a major figure in the Portuguese music universe and also known as the "Queen of Fado". This idea belongs to Herman Alves and is produced by Hermedia.

Fado - is filled with a mixture of sadness and nostalgia, longing and resignation. It is melancholic and also termed as saudade in Portuguese. 

For a brief second when you will hear the music which I am sure you'll be drawn to once you have read the post, you will feel as if its the background music of Frida Kahlo's life.

I can't wait to make my next stop to Toronto’s "Little Portugal" where a different mural of her awaits. Toronto's old markets and lanes are and art lovers dream. See you all soon!
