We confess to not knowing a great deal about street art but do enjoy it when it's really good. Danika from Veliko Tarnovo gave us our first "formal" introduction, so it was interesting (as always) to hear the story behind the work, especially that of the artivists. Do not fear - this will not be a run-down on every sidewalk spray paint job, just a collection of some of the more interesting pieces we saw during out Eastern Europe stay. We also ran into a few works by the now famous Banksy.
(You should also be aware that in Veliko Tarnovo, artists ask permission before painting, so the result is a collaboration. And street art is NOT graffitti.)
(Danika works from the Tourist Information Office in Veliko Tarnovo.)
