Before I head out and start taking pictures, I like to research where I'm going. I do this for two reasons. One, to know where I'm going and two, to learn. I want to learn about the artists that created these murals. I want to see their other works. I want to know why.

The Kansas City Crossroads Art District is one of the most concentrated gallery districts in the nation.

"It’s more than just an intersection of two streets in downtown Kansas City. It’s a vibrant and diverse community that welcomes all walks of life and all forms of artistic expression." - Crossroads Community Association

There is an outrageous amount of street art in this area. We were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. I'm all about efficiency. Ohso gets tired quick. We walked around for about an hour and were able to see all the walls in these pictures. The more time you have, the better. There are plenty of other posts about where to find the best walls in Kansas City. Here are some of the ones I stumbled across while doing my own research:
