1.1 Background of the Study
Street art, encompassing murals, graffiti, and installations, has emerged as a powerful medium for cultural expression and community engagement. In Ilorin South Local Government Area, Kwara State, street art plays a significant role in promoting urban cultural events, attracting diverse audiences, and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of public spaces. According to Adeyemi and Adebayo (2023), street art serves as a visual narrative that reflects local identity, history, and creativity. It creates a vibrant atmosphere that fosters community pride and encourages participation in cultural events. However, challenges such as vandalism, regulatory restrictions, and limited funding can hinder the potential of street art. This study explores the role of street art in promoting urban cultural events, focusing on its impact, challenges, and opportunities in Ilorin South.
