It has already been a week since the 2nd Annual Akumal Arts Festival came to an end, drawing over 100 artists who painted nearly 150 murals in a small village in Mexico's Riviera Maya. But for me, the magic that was created there by beautiful people from around the world, sharing love with the local community, will remain in my heart for some time to come.

I don't think I can fully articulate what a special place Akumal is or w...

The phenomena that is known as the Akumal Arts Festivial attracts artists from America, Asia, Australia, Europe and more. During this year's event, we witnessed many regional, national and international artists creating over a 100 works of art. The theme is "Beautify Akumal," but now with an added awareness of the impact of climate change. Since the festival is a community based initiative, we wanted to take this opportunity t...

Painting, workshops and other activities are just getting started for the second annual Akumal Arts Festival, which officially kicks off this weekend November 8-10. There are over 130 artists and performers taking part this year! To coincide with the theme of the event, 'los niños' de Akumal have been busy making their own creations out of recycled glass bottles that will illuminate the main strip of the pueblo. The children w...

Out of all the places my travels have taken me and my family, one of my favorite cities is Kaohsiung, TW.  Kaohsiung is the second largest city in Taiwan and is about the size of Jacksonville, FL. Despite being small in land mass, it has a population of almost 3 million. The city is home to not only delicious food, but some of the friendliest people as well.  

Just by looking at Kaohsiung on the map, yo...

Sprouting up in a once neglected swath underneath the highway in Boston's South End, the geometric splashes of bright pink and aquamarine in Victor 'Marka27’ Quinonez’s latest mural are impossible to miss against the grey backdrop of the skyline.

C215 portrait at 5 Rue Clément Perrot, Vitry-sur-Seine

If you like the work of French artist C215, aka Christian Guemy, you will LOVE Vitry-sur-Seine, a suburb 5 miles south of Paris. The artist started an initiative in 2009 to brighten the streets of this semi-industrial 'commune', painting hundreds of stencils and inviting artists to join him.

With a population of 82,000 and a 26.5% rate of unemployment (national average 10%),...

'Fille au Parapluie' by Seth, painted 2013 at 2 Rue Emile Deslandres.

Created though an initiative by Itinerrance Gallery and the Mayor's office, the area features 28+ murals from local and international artists including Seth, C215, D-Face, INTI and Shepard Fairey. Artists have taken advantage of t...

“While it's been important for the team to have a break from t...

Growing up (and to this day), I was always a big board game fan. I played everything from Chutes & Ladders to Candyland to Hungry Hungry Hippos. And when we had 4-5 hours to kill, there was MONOPOLY! I had a love/hate relationship with that game. I liked the concept of trying to acquire the various 'properties', coveting BOARDWALK and PARK PLACE, and I got nervous attempting to avoid the game's pitfalls like "GO TO JAIL. GO DI...

POW! WOW! DC HAS RETURNED!

The annual mural event in the nation's capital is well underway!

The painting will continue through the weekend, within the NoMa District, in the area around Gallaudet University. For a map of this year's walls, check out the Pow! Wow! DC sit...

Milwaukee, located on the shores of Lake Michigan, is probably known best for its famous breweries and Major League baseball team. But what you might not know about Cream City is that it also has some pretty great street art and some surprises on the local food front.

So, whether you are there on a short visit or for more than a few days, I've outlined a few of the neighborhoods worth exploring to satisfy your art and food crav...
