Create public graffiti mural spaces

Submitted by Chris Hardie in Arts, Culture and Fun

There's clearly an untapped wealth of skills and interests in the community when it comes to creating public art. Unfortunately, it often takes the form of graffiti sprayed on buildings where business owners or taxpayers don't want it, and then have to pay to have it removed. Creating public mural spaces that can be painted and painted over again and again not only offers an opportunity to showcase this artistic talent, but will serve as a viable alternative to those who only tag other property now.

Cities like San Antonio and Bloomington have done this successfully, so we know Richmond can too.
