Graffiti Wall of Fame - Stockholm

Last weekend, the family and I went to look at some of Stockholm's amazing graffiti art. Just outside of the city there's an industrial area dedicated to providing graffiti/street artists with the space to legally exhibit their artwork. Each Spring the area hosts the largest street art festival in the Nordics. Held over three days, artists come from all over Sweden and other parts of Europe to completely transform the area. We went along to the event last year and it was really cool. There's music and food and you can watch the artists in action. This year though, we decided to wait until all the walls were finished before going to have a look. This way we could see the completed masterpieces without all the crowds. It's an amazing space, with over 4.5km of walls that showcase some really remarkable pieces. I can barely draw a stick figure, so I'm in awe of the talent that these artists have and the amazing work they can produce with a spray can!Stockholm Graffiti WallStockholm Graffiti Wall
