The BA Way

Buenos Aires is a popular hub for art, theatre and dance (hello, tango!). But aside from the glitzy-glamour of the artists emerging in galleries there is a pusling art scene of street artists and graffiti artists who are tagging the city of Buenos Aires, as if it were their backyard cavas playground.
For the most part, it is. Street art and graffiti are popular in any urban city but what is unique about Buenos Aires are the murals of well planned, and week-long endeavors that are popping up nearl railroads, popular restaurants the long wall in your nieghborhood and much more.
The underground culture of art is pulsing into the mainstream with the voice of these artists marking up any cement or drywall that they can find to portray their artistic vision to the bigger city. Some of it is grotesque, some of it beautiful, all of it impossible to ignore.
Its another piece of the Buenos Aires puzzle.
