Street Poetry

Street poetry is a new kind of street art in Melbourne, Australia, where poets leave their writing on the streets for strangers to find in a similar way to painters and other kinds of street artists. It’s paste-up art, basically, with an emphasis on the words rather than the colours. Poetry is art, and so it can be a kind of street art if it makes it onto the streets.

As a street poet, I’m planning to visit as many places in Australia as possible, leaving my poetry behind me in a long (and documented) trail, to spread hope and peace to as many people as possible while having fun doing so!

Here’s my latest YouTube vlog, where I visit Geelong. I’ve done Ballarat, the Great Ocean Road, South Gippsland, Melbourne CBD and various inner and outer city suburbs around Melbourne. More to come!

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
