Street artists drawing graffiti on walls of power station

If you are a fan of street arts, make sure you don’t miss this. In the Australian city of Geelong, graffiti artists are encouraged to paint their works on the walls of a rundown building. Many world cities struggle with the issue of illegal graffiti, and spend a lot of money to keep walls graffiti-free. However, in a rather unorthodox way, Geelong seems to be a safe place for local and international graffiti artists. The City Council has recently approved to use the walls of a large run-down power station as a canvas for young talents to do street art, which can contribute to the cultural life of the city. They believe that this can save the local government thousands of dollars trying to clean illegal paintings.
