What Is Street Art? What Are Street Art Influencers?

Social media platform TikTok is one of the biggest growing social media platforms across the world. While TikTok's original focus was short-form content, art influencers have found the platform excellent for outreach and spreading their creative passion. This new movement has also included street art influencers.

Street art is a form of art expression intended for public spaces, often urban areas, such as walls, lamp posts, or benches. The practice goes back millennia and livens gray and bleak city infrastructure. While people argued that street art is an active form of vandalism, the art form has become popularized in cities. Artist movements have recently accepted graffiti as a part of the greater art community. 

However, not all street artists are criminals. Many use their art by collaborating with cities, businesses, and non-profit organizations to use their art to spruce up urban environments, spread awareness, and add their personal touches to places.

The best platform to find these up-and-coming street art influencers is TikTok, a platform full of the biggest and best names in the street art scene.
