Street Art Village

By: Allie Reid

The street art village is a group of buildings, called The Mullet, which once had dull, blank, bland walls and are now filled with bright, amazing art.  Not just one, but many artists help to make this place full of art; the buildings themselves are art.  The artists are able to go to The Mullet and let their creativity run free, legally.  No one has to worry about getting caught or getting into legal trouble.  They are free to do whatever they please.

When driving up to The Mullet, you may think that it is amazing from the few pieces of artwork you see from the road, but once you walk around the buildings, you will be awestruck.  The walls are filled with hundreds of paintings, both inside and out.  The paintings took much time and effort to come out to the end result of what the artists want.  When looking at the walls, you will see how talented the artists truly are.  Most of the art is done with just spray paint, which is amazing.  For the artists to be able to control the can of paint and end with an amazing piece of art takes true talent. 

Each artist took their time to create what they felt needed to be created.  There are paintings of text, movie characters, and just random drawings.  Some may not be able to appreciate this kind of art, but it truly is amazing.  The Mullet is a great place to let artists free their mind legally, and paint with no fines.  It is also a great place because the public can go out and see all of the amazing work displayed!
