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.
A positive response to an ugly incident.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that works to keep the tagging away.
ReplyDeleteA perfect response to graffiti. The tile mural is impressive.
ReplyDeleteI photographed some graffiti recently. On a wall made for the graffiti artists. It is usually repainted on a daily basis. This looks nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is thought provoking.
