Melrose Avenue

Street Art Los Angeles, California

It was in the mid-1980s that this street, a mecca for the hippie movement, began to attract artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey. In a short time, it was the shop owners themselves who asked for graffiti to be painted on the walls of their premises. Thus, in a short time, street art has become an integral part of the Avenue. Melrose is located between La Brea and Fairfax Ave.
