In Saint Louis, we have what’s colloquially called “The Graffiti Wall” that brings in artists from across the country (I want to say yearly? Maybe biannually?) and they paint over the entire wall of the previous years, in order to let the new artists express themselves. It’s a fantastic tradition, and one that I’m thrilled is a part of my local community. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how long it’s been going on off the top of my head.
In Hawaii, they have a have the POW Wow festival where artists make murals. pow wow world wide I lived there for a couple of years and they did a mural across the street from where I worked. It was amazing to walk around and see all the murals being created.
Yo! STL native here, I’ve regularly participated in Paint Louis. That’s what the annual block party is called at the flood wall. It’s always Labor Day Weekend, it’s been going on since I was a kid, am I’m 33. I can remember my dad taking me when I was 12/13 yrs old. It’s always super fun!! Come out next year!!
We have a whole building for that. Also, one of the contruction places in town lets the kids tag just about anything but the equipment. You can see it if you peek through the fence off the trail.
