There was a time when graffiti was dismissed as mere vandalism. Fast forward to today, and it’s become the heartbeat of modern cities and creative neighborhoods. Murals add color, character, and history to spaces that once felt disconnected. For visitors, these urban masterpieces are Instagram-worthy highlights. For creators, they’re public canvases expressing voice and vision.
But what if exploring these street art landmarks could be more than just admiring a wall? What if every mural became a portal into the story it holds — who painted it, why it was made, what local vibe inspired it — and even what café down the street served the best cold brew while the paint dried?
That’s where Social Strudel redefines the street art experience. It doesn’t just map murals — it maps moments, creators, communities, and stories.
Introducing Mural Maps with Maker Tags
The Social Strudel platform brings mural hunting into the digital age by blending technology, creativity, and community-driven content. Here’s how it works:
1. Interactive Mural Photo Mapping
Whether you’re walking through the Arts District in Los Angeles or cruising through Naples’ historic alleyways, Social Strudel lets you drop digital pins with geotagged mural photos. Each mural becomes part of a living map that guides future explorers.
2. Artist Tagging for Creator Credit
Creators no longer go anonymous. Social Strudel allows users to tag the artists behind the walls, giving them visibility and recognition. Artist profiles not only showcase their work but also allow direct engagement, similar to how Instagram tags artists in product collaborations.
3. History Notes That Tell the Story
What inspired the mural? Is it commemorating a cultural icon or repurposing a wall from the 1960s? Social Strudel’s community can add history notes, offering layered storytelling for deeper appreciation. It’s like a street-side museum tour, curated by locals and lovers of art.
4. Local Biz Tags: From Murals to Macchiatos
Each mural is also a starting point for community discovery. Cafe tags, bookstore highlights, thrift shop finds — each nearby gem can be linked so visitors turn art treks into full-blown neighborhood adventures. Think of it like Yelp meets street art.
5. Community Reviews and Crowd Ratings
Not all murals are created equal. Social Strudel supports reviews that help others discover can’t-miss spots. Vote up those hidden alley gems. Leave a comment about changing color palettes. Share lighting tips for sunrise photographers. It’s crowd-powered content at its most artistic.

Let’s say you’re visiting LA. You spot a massive angel-wing mural on Melrose. You photograph it. Then:
– Tag the mural on the Social Strudel map.
– Credit the artist by searching their profile.
– Add a history note: “Painted in 2012 in honor of street artist JoTx’s mentor.”
– Tag the juice bar across the street where the artist once worked.
– Leave a review: “Best angle at 10 AM for photos.”
– Head to another tagged mural two blocks down, guided by the interactive map.
You just contributed to the Strudel art economy. And you earned a sticker reward for your fifth mural review.
