Imagine viewing these INCREDIBLE murals while walking to and from your favorite local Fitzroy café – what a wonderfully refreshing sight to see such intricate art draping the buildings of Fitzroy. Sipping on a hot mocha latte while taking in these incredible installations reminds us of the boundless creative energy that runs through Fitzroy. Since Fitzroy’s cafes are a common gathering spot for locals (especially ages 18-44), we all love to vibe off this positive energy, inspired to pursue our own work.
