12 Awesome Street Art Destinations to Visit This Summer

May 22, 2015

When we’re traveling from one place to another, we never underestimate the power of a great art gallery. But sometimes, particularly when we’re in a big city with countless struggling artists, the greatest find comes in the form of a great piece of street art. Whether it’s yoga art, political statements or something else you’re after, load up the Google Street Art Project and plan out some stops — or just head to one of these destinations, each of which is practically dripping with fresh paint and even fresher visual inspiration.

1. The Z by Library Street Collective: Although popular artist Tristan Eaton is LA based, that doesn’t stop him from spreading his talent to other cities. When the folks behind the Library Street Collective in Detroit invited him and other influential street artists from around the world to come together and make murals for “The Z” as part of a civic revitalization effort, he lent his skills to a piece called “Crime Fighter.” It’s based partly on an old photograph of his mother (Awww!). A hand-drawn card for Mom is one thing, but let’s face it — this mural is a next-level expression of love. (via Street Art News)

2. Highline Park, NYC: Manhattan certainly isn’t hurting for its fair share of art in any form, but if you’re not sure where to take your first bite out of the Big Apple in your quest for visual stimulation, it’s a safe bet to start off in Chelsea. This one near Highline Park depicts Alfred Eisendtaedt’s famous “V-J Day in Times Square” photograph. (via The Vandalist)

3. You’re My Butter Half: We love a good pun, and there’s no cuter one to be found than the “You’re My Butter Half” wall at Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and Alamo Street on Austin’s East Side. An increasingly popular site for engagement photos (for obvious reasons!), the wall was painted on the side of a United Way building as part of the nonprofit’s 2012 rebranding with local partner Creative Suitcase. It’s a stone’s throw away from plenty of other great street art in Central and East Austin, a city teeming with talented street artists. (via Creative Suitcase)

4. HOPE Outdoor Art Gallery: Speaking of Austin, it’s becoming something of a street-art mecca all its own, so it’s no surprise that the city is home to one of the largest outdoor galleries in America. Made possible by community partners like the HOPE Campaign, Obey Giant Art and Shepard Fairey himself, the three-story living exhibit (also known as the “Baylor Street Art Wall”) hosts a constantly evolving array of art from local artists of every stripe. The project was developed “to provide muralists, graffiti artists and community groups the opportunity to display large-scale art pieces driven by inspirational, positive and educational messaging.” Can’t argue with that for a second. (via HOPE Campaign)

5. Rainbow Stairs: You might not find yourself in Istanbul often, but if you ever do, be sure to find its iconic set of rainbow stairs at some point as you wander through. Located near Findikli Station, the stairs were painted simply to bring happiness to passersby when a forestry-engineer-turned-guerrilla-artist spent four days and $800 transforming the steps into a global point of interest. When the local government painted over them shortly thereafter, a public outcry (including countless people painting their own steps in a show of solidarity) led them to reinstate the rainbow effect. Talk about the power of the people, right? (via Almost Landing)

6. Hosier Lane: Wildly popular artist Tyrone “Rone” Wright is such a notable fixture in Melbourne’s street-art scene that he was featured in Australia’s first feature documentary on the subject. So, it’s no surprise, of course, that his work appears in one of the more concentrated areas of graffiti around the Aussie metropolis. Spanning blocks of cocktail lounges and countless works of art, the spectacle has become a major attraction in recent years. (Photo via LWN Photography/Tumblr)

7. Exhibition Street: While Hosier Lane may be a more well-known street art destination in Melbourne, the Fitzroy neighborhood just northeast of city center is no shrinking violet either. In particular, Exhibition Street holds a visual smorgasbord of delights from not just Rone, but other artists as well, including Ghostpatrol, whose crisp, high-contrast line art is worthy of its own recognition. (via The Culture Trip)

8. Dreamcatcher: Peruvian street artist JADE’s work can be seen from Mexico to the Dominican Republic, but his home city of Lima is the primary beneficiary of his aviary-inspired designs. This piece, called “Dreamcatcher,” can be found in the district of Chorrillos and features a life-sized child hugging a giant, beautiful bird. While Lima’s mayor has ordered that all murals created during his predecessor’s rule (around 20 total) are to be painted over with the bright yellow color of his own political party, an uprising has come together to protect them, involving everything from the hashtag #SalvemosLosMurales (“we rescue the murals”) to folks forming human fences in front of the murals themselves. (via Street Art News)

9. Smashbox Studios in Culver City: This Higueroa Street corner has seen more than its fair share of Instagram snaps, thanks to its installment of artist Curtis Kulig’s popular “Love Me” series. As an added bonus, it’s just two doors down from a subtle but sweet piece of public art called “Children in Flight,” where metal doves adorn the side of a neighboring school. Often imitated but never quite duplicated, Kulig’s work provides the perfect backdrop for many a solo, double or group selfies. And why not? When love is all around, sometimes you can’t help but capture the moment. (via Los Angeles Magazine)

10. Centre-Fuge Public Art Project: There may be no city in America more densely packed with art than New York City, and one of the most inspiring places to see it there for free is the Centre-Fuge Public Art Project at 1st Street and First Avenue. Since January 2012, it has hosted bi-monthly street art exhibitions by applicants of all kinds on the once-plain construction trailer. Its popularity shot up with a memorial mural of Beastie Boy MCA by artist Danielle Mastrion, and its ever-changing array of visuals have become a must-see. (via Time Out New York)

11. Clarion Alley: With origins dating back to 1992, the Clarion Alley Mural Project was formed by six North Mission residents. This one-block stretch of bright, bold art can be found between Mission/Valencia and 17th and 18th Streets. Featuring the work of more than 100 artists over the years, its contributions to cross-cultural dialogue are reason enough to pay it a visit; the glorious artwork itself is, of course, a nice added bonus. (via Street Art SF)

12. West Hollywood Library: A street art post isn’t complete without the work of Shepard Fairey, who singlehandedly thrust the medium into the national spotlight with his historic presidential “Hope” campaign designs in 2008. In 2011, adding to his many murals around Los Angeles, he completed work on the West Hollywood Library, a structure that won an outstanding achievement award the following year from the US Conference of Mayors. Not too shabby, really. And hey, if you visit, why not pop inside for some literary inspiration too? (via Birdman Photos/Flickr)

8 Hydrating Night Creams To Rescue Dry Skin Overnight

It’s only mid-October, but I already feel my skin severely drying out. These days, I never let a tube of Aquaphor out of my sight, but what really saves my dry skin is a solid night cream. I’ve been loving thicker, slug-worthy formulas (like the few I’ll mention in this list), but there are a ton of different options to choose from when it comes to the best night cream for you. No matter what, late fall and winter are surely going to bring on more dryness than you’re used to – so stock up on one of these effective hydrating night creams now. They’ll put in all the work for your dry skin while you sleep peacefully, so you can wake up looking rejuvenated and moisturized to the gods!

Best Tested & Reviewed Night Creams:

Amazon

Versed Sweet Relief Night Mask + Face Balm

This is my absolute favorite night cream, and honestly, one of the best skincare products I've tried in my life. I've repurchased the pot three times now. Why do I love it so much? Well, for nighttime, it's exceptionally hydrating. I am a huge fan of the slugging technique (AKA slathering your skin in a thick jelly or cream to prevent water loss), and this pick really gets the job done. I wake up looking super hydrated, especially living in a dry climate! Plus, this product is very fun to scoop up and put on. The formula is also boosted with bacuri and kokum butters and apricot kernel oil to support the skin barrier, which is always welcome.

Amazon

Youth To The People Superberry Glow Dream Mask

Not only does this mask hydrate, it also brightens – we love a multi-hyphenate! The formula has a very rich texture that soaks into the skin while simultaneously sitting lightly on top to lock in moisture. It's like a fresh gulp of water for your dry skin – with a subtle fruity scent that makes applying it very fun.

B+C’s VP of Content, Alison Ives, is a big fan of the Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask.

“Believe the hype, people! I’d heard amazing things about Youth To The People for years, so when I saw a mini version of this for sale, I couldn’t resist ordering it to try it out. The jar was the ideal size for frequent travels when you want to keep up with your skincare routine while away, and the formula felt really luxurious on my dry skin. I use it a few times a week when I need an extra boost of hydration overnight. Plus, squalane is great for anti-aging concerns and reducing the little lines I have in my eye area.”

Amazon

CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream

If fine lines and wrinkles are your primary skincare concern, this is one of the best night creams for you. CeraVe products are commonly recommended by dermatologists for any and all skin types, since they're often gentle, yet effective! This cream in particular is fragrance free, non-comedogenic, and non-irritating, so those with sensitive skin can enjoy its hydrating benefits. It has hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides to boost the skin's hydration and elasticity, which can help reduce the look of those pesky wrinkles.

Amazon

Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizing Face & Neck Night Cream

Dealing with uneven skin tone and texture? Opt for this night cream that still gloriously hydrates your skin. It features niacinamide, a skincare hero for reducing the look of dark spots. The brand reported that 91% of users had softer, smoother-feeling skin in just one week after using this product!

Amazon

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Night Cream

Made to soothe and hydrate, this night cream also purifies the skin, drawing out excess oil overnight to minimize blemishes and clogged pores. It has a gel-cream texture to it, so it doesn't feel overly heavy on the skin – but is still nourishing! The fragrance-free formula is safe for sensitive skin types, and works most effectively in conjunction with other La Roche-Posay products.

Amazon

Cocokind Resurrection Polypeptide Cream

This rich moisturizing cream lets you easily get the look of plumped skin overnight. It includes polypeptides that aid in collagen production, improving firmness while combatting fine lines and wrinkles. The formula has a "dreamy" and "cushion-like" texture that hugs the skin so it can deliver all the goodness!

Amazon

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream

This cream is a true staple in my skincare routine, morning or night. It sounds unreal, but my skin truly looks more alive after I slather it on. It's somehow rich and creamy, but still lightweight enough that I can wear it throughout the day under my makeup. The 4.5% squalane helps maintain the skin’s moisture, while the glycoproteins (derived from glaciers – so fancy!) boost hydration even more. It helps your skin feel balanced and healthy, no matter what time of day you apply it.

Dieux

Dieux Instant Angel Moisturizer

This is another one of my beloved night creams that I use on a weekly basis when my skin really needs quenching. Dieux's Instant Angel Moisturizer is a total expert at providing your skin with moisture and protecting its barrier. Supporting your skin barrier can help it maintain healthy hydration levels, so you won't have to overcompensate with more creams and products that may not work 100% of the time.

Create Dreamy Travel Photos With Brit’s Go-To Hack

Adobe Lightroom

Photo editing

There’s nothing better for the soul than a few days offline with my home team. My boys, baby girl Lumi, husband Dave and I recently jetted off to Hanalei, Hawaii for a much-needed escape from work, school, and all the day-to-day things. And it was WORTH it. We spent our days at the beach, evenings lounging and playing at our vacation stay, and really connecting in ways that I truly treasure.

Before and After: Removed sign in background with Adobe Lightroom’s Generative Remove

Dave and I are both passionate about photography, but with three kids in tow, capturing the perfect travel photos takes a little creative work. You either get the shot and edit later, or miss the moment. Moments like this dreamy rainbow shot with Lumi are not to be missed!

My go-to hack for creating the perfect photo? Adobe Lightroom. It’s literally in my back pocket to make sure I can capture all those fun, adorable moments with the kids while on the go. With the Lightroom app, I can live in the moment knowing I have everything I need to edit photos of my favorite memories quickly and easily later on. For this rainbow shot, I was able to remove the sign in the background so the focus is on Lumi and her rainbow.

Adobe Lightroom is like a professional photo editor right on my phone with everything from remove tools cropping features, one-tap presets or filters for pictures, videos, and reels.

Before and After: Removed background people and beach gear with Adobe Lightroom’s Generative Remove

Powered by Adobe Firefly AI technology, Lightroom recently introduced a brand-new feature, Generative Remove, which makes it so easy to remove a photo bomber in the background, beach debris from my travel photos, stains on the kids' clothing, and the inevitable toy clutter in the background. Thanks to AI, it’s smart enough to replicate the background when you remove people, toys, and even busy patterns – no smudges, distortions, or dark spots! And it’s as quick and simple as cropping a photo or adding a preset.

Before and After: Removed my son in the water with Adobe Lightroom’s Generative Remove

Here’s a great example: Using Lightroom’s new Generative Remove feature I was able to remove my son, who wasn’t planning to be in the shot, from the background and then brighten the photo in Adobe Lightroom in literally minutes. It’s now one of my favorite photos – a framer for sure!

Before and After: Removed people in background and debris in foreground with Generative Remove

I used the Generative Remove feature to remove my fellow tourists in the background and the debris in the foreground here too. Now it's the perfect shot!

Adobe Lightroom’s Lens Blur tool has all these new presets to add a blur effect in a single click for things like portrait backgrounds, food photography, city lights, street photography, and more. I used it here in the background.

Before and After: Removed leg and foot with Adobe Lightroom’s Generative Remove

And for those everyday moments, make your little one the center of attention by removing distractions. For example, my leg got caught in the shot when we finally saw that big smile, so I removed it later using Lightroom.

After a fun day with the kids, I love to revisit those memories and search for the highlights recorded in my phone, clean them up with my magic wand – the Adobe Lightroom app – and share them with friends and family. It’s my time to be creative and a perfect ending to my wild adventures with my mini squad.

Your November Horoscopes Are Here — See What's In Store For Your Sign

Welcome to November 2024! It’s official, everyone. We are cleared of the eclipse season and approaching the holiday season and Election Day. The collective is stirring with anticipation, awaiting the next course in our journey. Breathe. Tensions are especially high due to the major polarity brought on by the collective planet Pluto's re-entry into Capricorn just months ago. The tides are expected to change as the regeneration planet regresses into Aquarius for good.

You may be thinking, “What’s in it for me?” Aligning with the cosmic flow will bring more peace, understanding, and balance in your everyday life. Scorpio season is in full swing, and it beckons you to begin analyzing your internal landscape, desires, and control. You'll improve the world by grasping the importance of revitalizing your inner self. Believe it or not, you're the main character of your story, and your light contributes more than you know. This November highlights this part of your narrative. Are you ready to learn what is in store for you this month? Read on for your sun, moon, and rising November horoscope below.

Themes For Your November Horoscope In 2024

Brian Yurasits

This month kicks off with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, helping you see how you're being of service to yourself and others. Due to Scorpio's vibe of death and regeneration, this lunation will also materialize the importance of “clearing out” from the old. Remember last month’s solar eclipse?

This New Moon in Scorpio extends the path for you to turn over a new leaf and actualize your desired changes. Make a move.

The communication signals will power up as Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 2nd, manifesting a feeling of warmth and hope in our messages. The dialogue exchanged will be inspiring and educational.

Share information that will benefit others. You'll experience serendipitous moments as you give back.

Our drive and bravado will turn up as the motivator planet Mars enters Leo on November 3rd. Our self-worth will drive passion and desire. Step forward and claim your desire.

Patricia Luquet

Create your masterpiece and watch it come to life. Believe.

Love will shift to rationality and structure as Venus shifts into Capricorn on November 11. These next several weeks will help you gauge more accordingly with long-term plans and practical concerns. It will also invoke a more grounded approach to romance and dating.

Slow and steady builds stronger foundations in love.

On November 15th, the Full Moon in Taurus illuminates the sky, highlighting the importance of taking the reigns through a measured approach. With the rebel planet, Uranus, in alignment with this full moon, it will stir up massive changes involving our narrative and how we are playing our part in our storyline. It can lead to impulsive moves, so remember to be intentional. The great news is that Saturn, the structure planet, is direct today, bringing more clarity regarding our direction.

Ahmed ツ

Brilliance awaits as you hold steady.

Buckle up! On November 19th, Pluto ingresses into Aquarius, settling into this future-oriented sign. Anticipate significant technological advancements, including refined artificial intelligence, quantum computing breakthroughs, renewable energy innovations, and immersive virtual reality experiences. Side note: VR Games like Supernatural(I'm a BIG fan!) are revolutionizing workouts, allowing people to exercise in other worlds while engaging with a supportive community for weight loss, endorphins, and positive accountability. As you visualize your ideal paradigm, Pluto will guide you toward the tools or necessary changes to attract your desired results. Embrace this transformation and let go of outdated constructs, paving the way for a brighter, more interconnected future.

Vlada Karpovich

Happiness and fulfillment await those willing to adapt and grow.

This month ends with the Sun in Sagittarius on November 21 and Mercury Retrograde on November 25. Sagittarius season invokes wanderlust, adventure, and growth. Remember that you'll reign this season as you remain open-minded to new concepts and ideas.

Close-mindedness and dismissiveness of others' input lead to dead ends.

As we conclude working with Mercury’s backspin this month, steer clear of making traveling plans (like booking a ticket/itinerary), launching a business, or signing contracts. Plus, it will help you streamline your messages, think through your personal beliefs, and change your attitudes towards life. Going through reflection will help you gravitate toward your desired outcomes.

Which signs will be most affected in November?

Juliane Monari

As we journey through November 2024, Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Sagittariuswill each feel the cosmic waves uniquely. Scorpios will harness the transformative energy of the New Moon to reflect on their desires and initiate powerful changes. Taurus will be called to acknowledge new narratives during the Full Moon, prompting them to take control of their path and make intentional decisions. Aquarians will experience a significant shift as Pluto settles into their sign, inviting them to envision a brighter future and release old patterns that no longer serve them. Meanwhile, Sagittarians will be inspired by the Sun’s entry into their sign, igniting a sense of adventure and growth. However, they should navigate Mercury's retrograde carefully to avoid miscommunications and hasty decisions. Allow these energies to guide you toward a more fulfilled and intentional existence this month!
