Are you a regular at Renaissance Festivals, or do you enjoy clothes or pop culture from a past decade? Have you ever said, “I should have been born back then?

If you’re obsessed with days gone by, tell your story, through photos or video. Did you grow up during this particular time, or is it only something you’ve seen in books or movies? We want to know all about it.

Street art in your community

Murals, statues and other public art displays are common elements in many urban environments. Can you find examples of such things in your neighborhood?

Hats off to iReporter micosantos for discovering a group of urban knitters who make public art out of yarn in Wellington, New Zealand. Have you seen something similar?

Take us on a video tour of the urban art near you, or share photos and stories that tell us what the artwork means to you. You could be on CNN.

Graffiti and other so-called "guerilla" art projects have created controversies in some communities. We want to hear your story and perspective, but we don't want to encourage activities that are illegal in your area.

Hey Photo Clubbers, we’re taking a short break, but there’s a fun photo assignment you can tackle in the meantime.

We challenge you to visit a graveyard. Have you ever taken a graveyard tour or visited a famous person's grave site? Did you visit a cemetery that left you wanting to go back?

If you're into photography, you can also join our iReport group on Flickr.com . Also check out the photos from last week's signs of autumn challenge on CNN.com .
