Los Angeles is home to some of the best street artists in the world. Street art is fast becoming the choice for artists and activists to voice their opinions. In the past graffiti and street art were considered to be nuisance, but as more artists choose to display their works on the streets, a growing sense of legitimacy has been building. The streets offer a more dynamic canvas for the artist to showcase their work to a diverse community, and reach more people than they usually would.
