Washington D.C. embraces legal graffiti

I like this mural alot. For the past couple of months, I have become more interested in graffiti/street art. I have come up with a project on how culinary arts and the arts go hand in hand. The type of art that appeals to me most is graffiti art. If any of you know any local dc and/or baltimore graffiti artists, please let me know. I would like to talk to them so I can learn more and possibly include them in the project I'm trying to accomplish.Thanx.

murals from graffiti artists give up and coming graffiti artists the faith to carry on. I think people should follow this example and stop just scribbling and get the piece and the murals going.

nice pod. This is an interesting subject to cover, cities seldom support graffiti in anyway. I think more local governments should look into mural programs like this.

awsom video keep up the great work

I'm a huge fan of graffiti and a minor artist myself. I'm digging deep to try and get some sort of legal space to practice and produce my work.

I dislike how the government is trying to illegalize an art form. It's disgusting. It's very refreshing to see the higher ups giving us support.

Thanks for the pod, my friend.

It's been years where only LA and NY have fully embraced graffitti, it's about time DC embraced it's local artists!

I think that's an awesome idea, it's good for artists, to be able to paint without fear (that's a big thing that holds me back)

it always
starts in
the streets
before it
becomes
'the thing'

good work...

p.s. pixel thing looks cool...like
an effect or some'n...

Excellent pod! And it touches one of the most important issues of "street graffiti" that the kids and adults need to learn. I intent to develop a similar program in San Francisco, not reinventing the wheel through but offering an education so them can understand what is legal and what is not, giving an opportunity to graffiti street artists to express their art without running against private property and the law. Thanks DC!

Victory! 'Bout time someone figured out you can't stop graffiti. Might as well embrace it.

nice work sir. Great topic, lighting was good, hip music without distraction, well timed, well framed, narrator sounds like this dweeb I knew in college but... seriously, I'm pretty impressed. The pixelation is a shame but surely one of your media savy buddies can help with that. Keep up the good work.

wonderful work, you did a great job of both showing the artwork and letting the artists tell about their projects.

Hey bro, nice work!! Thumbs up for sure!! Lets collaborate!!

tahts cool no more jail time for some or tickets.
