Street art grabs headlines and attracts tourists
Lonely Planet - Street Art
Both Christchurch and Adelaide feature in this new publication and Oi YOU! is noted for their part in building the street art culture in both cities.
Christchurch
“George Shaw and Shannon Webster’s Oi YOU! have developed and delivered a groundbreaking project, in partnership with Canterbury Museum, called RISE, which drew a quarter of a million visitors and won NZ Museum Show of the Year in the process. As a result of the event - and subsequent Oi YOU! projects in the city - more than 40 murals have since been produced, and street art has become a vital part of the energy of the rejuvenated city.”
Adelaide
“Proactive Australasian street art organiser Oi YOU! has also held high profile events in town ”
Festival Press
