Must-see street art in Burlington
Sarah Robinson, Culture Editor
It’s almost May, and around this time of year Church Street should be filled with families, shoppers, dogs and excitement for the coming summer. While shops and restaurants have closed their doors, the street art that lines the walls, sidewalks and fences around Burly are always available for viewing.
During this time, it is extremely important to get outside and walk away from our computers. On your government-approved stroll around the city, be sure to check out some of the street art pieces that have been created with love by members of the Vermont community.
