Wall Art (Graffiti/street art)
Projects are commissioned to:
- provide opportunities for artists to create art for art sake
- discourage illegal tagging
- bring community together
- create place makers
- work with youth through graffitti art programs
- add aesthetic, social and economic value to community

We believe that the careful selection of artists will ensure the best possible outcome for both the artist, the commissioning body and community.
