Christchurch street art really came into itself as what they call gap fillers where building spaces were opened up leaving bare walls. To be taken over by what some call the urban phenomenon moving across the globe.

Christchurch has now became a world street art capital. A Lonely Planet book published in 2017 ranked Christchurch alongside New York, Barcelona, Berlin and London as one of 39 cities with a rich street art scene.

 

In Christchurch you will find it in alleys down hidden areas and on full display some of which has been sponsored by a trust or private company.

Join the thousands of people who have walked the streets of Christchurch looking for the artwork on offer.

 

There is even a group formed to provide tours and a map of all the art work can be found on their web site "Watch This Space"  or you could book a tour with them they run tours during the week and on the weekend. Email tours@watchthisspace.org.nz .
