Surprising and eclectic street art on view in easy tour - Lori Ann gave a great walking tour that really gets you quickly into the unique world of Phoenix street art and artists. Some amazing visual treats are on the walls of downtown Phoenix buildings. Lori Ann is plugged into that world, so she gives great insights about the local artists and their styles, and on the decades-long development of this activity from graffitti to a respected artistic expression of ideas and points of view. Easy, flat walking of maybe a bit more than a mile round trip.
