Art (142 of 365)

Most major cities have a street art community of some kind and Atlanta is no different. We spotted this one on our way back from the Dragon*Con parade on Mitchell Street in downtown. 209 Mitchell St SW, Atlanta, GA, 30303, to be exact. This alligator is a piece by ROA, a Belgian artist, who was recently in Atlanta for the Living Walls 2011 Conference.

In addition to the typical street and graffiti art, Atlanta has at least two street artists who produce non-permanent art. Evereman and Catlanta are two street artists who leave their artwork hidden around the city for people to find and take home. The artists leave magnets, wooden blocks, and other small art pieces around town for people to find.

I have yet to be in the area when either artist has hidden some work, but I am on the lookout!
