The Kindness Mural . . .

A couple of years ago, some ugly graffiti was found around Ridgefield, including at the high school.  The Ridgefield Youth Commission looked for a way to respond.  

They hired local artists Joann and Bruce Hunter to design a mural for the side of the youth barn.  In March 2018 hundreds of volunteers placed quarter-inch porcelain tiles on the barn.  The message:  kindness, inclusion, tolerance.  An abstract design, no words.  For each viewer to interpret.

Monday Mural.

A positive response to an ugly incident.

Let's hope that works to keep the tagging away.

A perfect response to graffiti. The tile mural is impressive.

I photographed some graffiti recently. On a wall made for the graffiti artists. It is usually repainted on a daily basis. This looks nice.
