Edmonton Arts Council + Graffiti

The Edmonton Arts Council offers an alternative to the strict "graffiti is vandalism" stance of Edmonton politicians. The Arts Council understands the contribution that graffiti can make to the public art of Edmonton. Graffiti Zones Program wants to increase the number of legal graffiti sites in Edmonton. Their goal is not to eliminate graffiti, but to bring quality graffiti to the attention of the masses. Helping the public better understand graffiti could change the notion that all graffiti is vandalism. The council wants to encourage artists, and give them an environment where they can legally and freely express their ideas, not matter what they are...ruffle some feathers!
