How to find street art near you

At this point, you’ve probably hiked every park near you (several times), avoided crowds at the beach, finally read all of those hardcovers on your bookshelf and blazed through your Netflix queue. Coming up with new socially distant ways to explore the world around you might be getting a bit harder, which is why it’s time to try out a drive-by—or walk-through—art gallery.

If you’re in New York or London, the Geo Street App is worth a download. It’ll help you find murals near you, so you can create your own walking tour, checking out these works at your own pace. Similarly, PixelStix maps out Tampa Bay, featuring more than 80 murals in the St. Petersburg area alone. This app takes things a step further: When you arrive at a mural, scan the PixelStix logo using the app—or click on the PixelStix “P” on the map in the app—to learn the story behind the art. (Users can add art to the map too.) There’s also a Drive-In Mural Theater feature, which pairs murals that are close together with a docent’s narration of the stories behind the pieces, so you can cruise and learn.

Don’t live in any of those areas? That’s where Street Art Cities comes in. Use the site to search for your city, and it will pop up a map showing any logged street art near you.

Grab takeout coffee (or a smoothie), map out your route and liven up an otherwise-ordinary weeknight with a free outdoor art show.
