As for the educational area, there is a variety of courses that will be offered. These will generate a discussion around graffiti as a form of artistic expression.

And finally, like the neighborhood where the museum will be located, it will have graffiti on its premises. Many created as a space of expression and appreciation. These will be created by highly regarded local artists, as well as new talent.

The Museum of Graffiti will be located on 299 NW 25th Street and will open on December 5. It’s certainly another step in the popular consolidation of graffiti as art in the public view.
