The Streets Literally Become a Canvas...
Yes, the streets of Highland do become a canvas for talented artists during this one-of-a-kind festival! Carrying on a tradition started centuries ago, on Saturday, September 15th, the 16th Annual Street Art Festival and Art Expo will turn the streets of downtown Highland into a temporary art gallery. Curious about Street Art? See more PHOTOS!
The Street Art Concept
The great tradition of street painting began in Italy in the 16th century. A crowd would gather whenever a traveling artist began transforming the pavement into a colorful work of art. Although the masterpiece only lasted until the next rain, the tradition of street painting has endured, and we invite you to be part of this timeless experience!
