The Sunday Arts Program on ABC TV is inviting people to submit photos to their website for inclusion in their online art gallery. They are specifically seeking photos of public art in your community. Submissions are not restricted to Australian residents only. Public art from all over the globe is welcome. So if you have some interesting public art where you live why not take a photo, upload it and share. Or you may already have some photos of public art that you’ve taken while visiting other areas, so you could upload those. There is a lot of ‘commissioned’ public art around Brisbane but much of it doesn’t appeal to me. I often find the ‘non-commissioned’ public art more interesting. I took this photo of some stencil art I found in New Farm a while back & just uploaded it.
You probably can’t make out the Andy Warhol quote, but it’s one of my favourites of his. “Art is what you can get away with”...and it is indeed Andy!
I'd like to wish you American folk a very happy Independence Day!
Enjoy your 4th of July celebrations, whether it be BBQs in the backyard with friends & family or bikini-clad frolicking in the ocean while twirling pretty polka dot umbrellas. Have fun & stay safe!

and the andy warhol quote is great, such an inspiring thing for someone to stencil on a public wall.
Thanks for the 4th of July wishes. I need to find my polka dot umbrella...
You don't sound clueless or stupid. 'Public Art' may go by another name in America. Or it may not even be very popular over there. Public art generally includes community projects, murals, outdoor sculpture etc. It's very big in Brisbane, Queensland & the Queensland government has even set up funding for public art projects to the amount of $12 million dollars. We've gone public art crazy! Graffiti/stencil art is public art in that it is created in a public space to be viewed by the public. It's not generally funded/commissioned & rarely permitted or legal though. It sometimes is, but not often. Hope my wishy-washy attempt at an explanation helps :)
Love the 4th of July card ! We're keeping our fingers crossed for some beautiful weather on the 4th!
I would much rather see someone's expression than plain old concrete. I would love to see in one gallery of it from around the world. We used to read a magazine about street and sticker art, but I cant remember the name. shoot.
happy 4th to you too! we are goin camping!!! yayyayyay!
I look forward to seeing what people post.
Thanks so much for the warm wishes over here, and hope you have a lovely weekend in your part of the world!
Happy Independence day to you.
Thanks, but I don't celebrate Independence Day because I too am in Australia :)
We may not celebrate the same holiday, but Australia/USA are wonderful friends..and for that, I celebrate..
I'll be celebrating the 4th on the roof on a Warehouse condo ~ watching the "Battle of the Barges" in New Orleans. Love to see the Fireworks!
and the stencil art looks fantastic well spotted.
happy 4th of July !
Thank you for your kind Independence Day greetings.......I'm a naturalizes American though international at heart.
Are we still doing Shadow shots?
You can tell I'm running out of Morocco things!
All best wishes
