It’s not a TOTAL free-for-all, but definitely a nicely-spirited free-for-all for people who are kind enough to ask for permission. Here we are at Uptown’s own Intermedia Arts. See below for an amazing display of spray-can skills, spills, and layer upon layer upon layer of thrills.

Check out what Intermedia Arts has to say:

We work every day to provide our community with the creative leadership, tools, support, respect and freedom to make positive social change through art, dialogue and civic engagement. …

We place particular emphasis on supporting underrepresented communities. We believe that each of us has the right to assert our place in cultural life, and we empower ourselves and our community to do just that. We encourage authentic expression of individual cultural values, stories and histories—in our own words; in our own ways. We are committed to listening to, responding to and collaborating with artists and our community.

So where’s the public graffiti walls? Here they are.
