Was this the mural on the theatre? So cool! You're so legit, looking all professional and what not. :)

@supersharayah no, this is underneath the bridge that goes to Watervliet.

Absolutely Lovely!

I wonder how it has been since? I really hope it's been respected by the wider community - all too often things like this aren't - Such a shame.

I'm glad I was able to navigate the maze that is the new subscription box to see this. Truly a beautiful community venture! It's really great to see people getting together for something as great as taking back community spaces for the community. I also love the influx of community-based videos popping up... it's so easy just to exist on the internet, and we need something to remind us that there's a world out there!

This is beautiful.

We used to have a similar program in my community. Decades later, you can still find beautifully painted and graffiti free bridges, walls and picnic benches around the city.

Great video Emily, really captures what can be done in the community.

Here in Melbourne a lot of the alley ways have legal graffiti zones, you get beautiful art work. All you need is a permit, and it is relatively easy to get.

This was fantastic, Emily! I know you had expressed interest in uploading documentaries to YouTube in the past, and I'm glad that you got another one upload. :D

This is an inspiring organization and sounds like a fun way to get involved in a community.

Oooh, documentary style! Love it! What a great way to improve a community. Art has purpose!!!
