Downtown Street Art







You have to frame this one just right, so that Gene Kelly is holding onto the lamppost.

The ivy is painted on the building!
 


 Walking around downtown Ann Arbor, I was delighted by the decorated shop windows, a few new murals and graffiti, and a very amusing bicycle rack. I appreciate all the beautiful work by a variety of local artists. I took all these photos myself!

Hello,

I like the decorated shop windows. Gene Kelly, Singing in the Rain is a favorite. The bike rack is cool. Take care, enjoy your day!

I love when store owners put in the effort to add art to their displays. The Gene Kelly piece would definitely be worth the effort to frame it right :) Fun!

A2 has the best downtown (unlike Lansing which barely has one). I especially love the Gene Kelly because -- well, it's Gene Kelly and my favorite film! But I actually am wild about every window and building in this post and I need to get back there. Maybe when we meet for lunch this spring I should come to A2!

My favourite is the butterfly wings and the ivy is impressive as it looks real.

Gene Kelly sure is my fav, but they´re all helping to make this a fun place.

Gene Kelly is my favorite, but I enjoyed them all, especially the Alice in Wonderland. I had to laugh at the first photo. Those water bottles are like the ones Sally bought in all colors. They paired nicely with those legs!

Nice bike rack, too.

I so enjoy seeing other towns with shop windows and the art of the town. Have a great day.

Your street art is amazing. I would love to run across the Gene Kelly as I'm walking down the street. And even small paintings on windows make the whole world a little more beautiful, I think.

We are hoping to do a street art walk through Bellville here in Paris next week.

I love to window-shop and it seems you happened upon a lovely part of town to capture the local street art. It looks you had fun wandering around there!

Just lovely Mae! I wish downtown in any town or city in SA could be as beautifully taken care of. It shows pride and care for your community.

Have a good week ahead!

All these are colourful murals and street art. Very beautiful and these make the town look energetic. I like the mural with Gene Kelly. That photo is cleverly captured with the lamppost.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
