There is nothing I love more than being out & about and coming across a fabulous piece of street art or public sculpture. Something I’ve noticed lately is a wonderful propensity for decorating public staircases. Here are a few of my favorite examples from around the world!

Who knew Valparaiso, Chile was so full of street art goodness? Definitely on my list of places to visit now! Have a favorite pair of artsy stairs? Share ’em over on the Artsy Forager Facebook page!
