Introducing social features in the Street Art Cities app, join the conversation today!
Street Art Cities isn’t just a map, it’s a movement. And now, with its ever-evolving social features, the app is turning every street art lover into a storyteller, a curator, and a community builder.
Street art has always been social.
A mural appears overnight, people stop, photograph it, argue about it, protect it, mourn it when it’s gone. The artwork lives in public space, but it also lives through the people who encounter it.
With the Street Art Cities app, you’ve always been able to use the platform: explore murals, discover cities, and follow artists across the world.
Now, you can do something more important: join the conversation.
From archive to living ecosystem
Street art is ephemeral by nature. Walls get repainted. Buildings disappear. Murals are vandalized, removed, or sometimes carefully restored. Until now, that reality mostly lived outside the app, in comments, DMs, or local knowledge.
We’ve changed that.
Street Art Cities is no longer just an archive you browse. It’s a living, community-driven ecosystem, shaped by the people who walk the streets every day.
Small actions, big impact
We’ve introduced new social features that let you actively engage with the artworks you encounter in real life:
Seen: Let the community know the artwork is still there. A simple confirmation that keeps the archive fresh and reliable.
Like: give your favorite artist or artwork some 💓💓
Removed: Signal that a mural no longer exists. Because documenting disappearance is just as important as documenting creation.
Vandalized: Street art changes, sometimes violently. This button helps reflect the real condition of a piece without erasing its history.
Wrong location: Found the artwork, but the pin is off? You can now let us know, helping others find it without frustration.
Wrong artist: let us know if we’ve credited the wrong artist or solve an unknown
These actions take seconds, but together they build engegement, trust, accuracy, and a deeper understanding of how street art evolves over time. They will end up in the inbox of hunters and artists so they can check it and update the status.
Why this matters
Street Art Cities has always relied on local hunters, people who actually live in the places they document. These new features extend that philosophy to the entire community, now everybody can join the world’s leading street art community.
You don’t need to upload murals to contribute.
You don’t need to be an expert.
You just need to be there.
Every “seen” confirms reality.
Every “removed” preserves memory.
Every correction improves the experience for the next person standing in front of that wall.
More than an app. A shared responsibility.
Street art doesn’t belong to algorithms or institutions. It belongs to the street, it belongs to us and to the people who care enough to pay attention.
By adding these social tools, we’re inviting you to help protect the integrity of the archive and to participate in something bigger than scrolling: collective documentation of a global culture that never stands still.
So next time you’re out hunting murals, don’t just look.
Engage | Confirm | Correct | Be part of the story
Because street art is temporary, but together, we make sure it’s never forgotten.
