Loop Lifestyle presents the Water Lane art scene in Kingston, Jamaica:
At the intersection of Water Lane and Church Street, you’ll find Jamaica’s first art district.
Water Lane is the latest phase of Kingston Creative’s ‘Paint the City’ street art project which focuses on using art for social and economic transformation.
Ten incredible new murals have been created by several talented Jamaican artists.
They include Zohria Allen, Charl Baker, Bryton Brown, Errol Keane, Rebecca Levy, Junior Moore, Richard Nattoo, Joshua Solas, Richard Smith and Shanique Stewart.
