Some of the best of this can be seen in the Palermo district. Palermo is the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, and also serves as a center of creativity and local culture. The talent on display here has drawn eyes from all over the world, with Huffington Post listing Buenos Aires as one of the top cities to see urban art. Since the neighborhood is one of the primary destinations for both locals and tourists, Palermo needed to look as vibrant and eye-catching as the cultural gems found within, and to achieve this, Buenos Aires chose to use street art. Owners of stores, bars, and restaurants hired artists to pull interest towards their businesses. Even some homeowners turned their house into a canvas. Along with these personal requests, the government paid for commissions on publicly owned spots as well, like the fully decked out Palermo subway station. All over the neighborhood, you can see murals, tags, plasters, and many other types of street art, so throughout your travels, it’s definitely worth it to keep an eye open when around Palermo, as you never know what unexpected things you might find. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/987/StreetArtGarrettReid.2.mp4 027daf70030a6f36b15deda6959fedc3 http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/987/StreetArtBuenosAires.jpg ad6ec43a190a08e1c959a4ecb67e0008 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
