Public Graffiti Park Editorial Photo

Once considered a subversive art form and civic blight in most urban cities, this picture represents the growing trend of modern American cities incorporating graffiti wall art and murals into public spaces, embracing the ability of such art to positively impact the aesthetic landscape of city parks and neighborhoods. Located in the ARTivity on the Green community park in the downtown Art District of Winston Salem, North Carolina, this wall captures a small piece of one such city's attempt to give voice to a newly budding class of community street artists.
