After my post today about street art buttons/portals, I received a request for places you can leave guerrilla art and random acts of kindness AKA art abandonment. When you’re getting into guerrilla art, it can be kind of intimidating and you might be worried about what’s acceptable, legal, and so on. Here are some of my favorite places to leave things I’ve made for strangers to find. If you have any other ideas, I would absolutely love to have them added in the comments below!
