Can’t come to Rochester? We are coming to you! We worked with the Google Art Project to let you experience our murals from everywhere in the world! Find us: walltherapyny.culturalspot.org or explore all the collections at g.co/streetart
By bringing together a wide variety of global partners, the Cultural Institute’s goal is that anyone, anywhere can enjoy these artworks long after the paint has faded from the walls.
WALLTHERAPY is one of 50 global partners who have curated exhibitions and together provided more than 10,000 high resolution images, enabling street art fans to dive into the hidden details of paintings at the click of a mouse.
The Street Art collection first launched in June of 2014 with 30 global partners and has since doubled the number of images captured and art preserved through the digital platform. The collection consists of high resolution images of street art from around the world as well as Street View panoramas of select murals.
You can download a free app from the Google Play store (sorry, not on iOS just yet.) The app brings all of our exhibits to your phone:
