DescriptionIn 2008 DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in collaboration with the DC Department of Public Works joined forces with MuralsDC to replace illegal graffiti with artistic works, to revitalize sites within communities in the District of Columbia, and to teach young people the art of aerosol painting. This initiative aims to positively engage the District’s youth by teaching proper professional art techniques, providing supplies, and a legal means to practice and perform their artistic skill in a way that promotes respect for public and private property and community awareness.
