JR in Los Angeles - 20 Pieces in 20 Days

We knew that international street artist JR was in town, but we had no idea of the scope of his plans.

The goal is 20 pieces in 20 days. LAWeekly has been granted exclusive access to follow JR to these secret spots, and they reached out to MELROSEandFAIRFAX to help share with the street art community.

It is so exciting, and like the Banksy scavenger hunt all over again! Click the jump for more


JR has been getting some serious recognition from outside the art world, and was recently named the winner of the TED award. The TED award is given to leaders in technology, entertainment and design, and past recipients have included big names like Bill Clinton. It is a tremendous honor, and the selection of a street artist is unprecedented.

LA is honored in return to have JR putting up art on the streets. Each day at 2pm LAWeekly will reveal a new location, and we will share the art soon after.

This is the second piece to go up in LA, and it is absolutely beautiful.
