As part of Streetscapes Alley Art Program, they are launching a pilot open graffiti wall. The goal of the Alley Art project is to continue in their quest to beautify the downtown and help curb the graffiti that has been showing up on downtown property. An open graffiti wall is an area where graffiti is permitted and encouraged.
The goals of the pilot graffiti wall are:
- To promote a legal and safe site for artists in Lloydminster and;
- To beautify and add culture to downtown Lloydminster
The designated location will be located in the alley behind Sunlife Financial (4802 50th Ave). Alley access can be found on 48th Street. The designated wall will be the north facing wall of Ironjet and will be clearly marked with signage and a canvas area. The site will be open to the public August 4 at which point artists will be invited through advertising to come and paint the art work of their choosing at the time of their choosing. All artists are invited to come and show off their work! Streetscapes will monitor the site and any offensive or illegal posts will be removed. Painting of the wall can then run until the wall is complete or until it is too cold to paint outdoors.
