Sylvie welcomed us in the artists's bar, giving us a short history of how Street Art City came into being and pointing out some of the many murals and the gallery which the artists exhibit and sell their work. Her passion for this undertaking, despite admitting that she does not come from an art background, is evident and utterly inspiring, but she quickly released us to wander around and discover for ourselves this unusual place. Her goal is to encourage visitors from all walks of life to immerse themselves in the universe of street art and be transported by the experience. I can see it gives her great pleasure to see and hear how each person reacts to this unique environment. It was indeed a journey where time was suspended as one was transported by the larger than life creativity of the murals transforming these mundane structures. I left truly inspired.

Of course, pictures cannot truly do justice so I would encourage you to add this to your bucket list and visit sooner rather than later - you will not regret it and in fact I am sure you will want to return as I plan to do – often!
