Encouraging to see this type of approach, hopefully council will approve and fund it. Would be nice if local youth are involved too - we'll see.

Jan 20, 2011 - Palm Springs, CA - The owner of an Indio plaza is proposing to have the city pay for a mural on the side of her building to help deter graffiti. During the past 12 weeks, the building that houses Pam Schott's Mercado de Monroe on Monroe Street, just south of Interstate 10, has been defaced by graffiti taggers four times.She believes a mural on the north side of the plaza would not only be a welcome sight for motorists exiting the highway, but she says it will also address the vandalism

Graffiti arts new Berlin Wall -- Creativity Articles -- Red Bull.
Jan 19, 2011 - Berlin - If you travel by rail between Berlin and Halle, Germany, and pay attention to the passing landscape, you will eventually set eyes on a 100m-long (350ft-long) series of detailed scenes: a laboratory overrun by rats, a shipping port under dark clouds, galleons fighting through rough waters and a giant octopus, and a cityscape at sunset. The graffiti name of the artist, MadC, is ubiquitous.

Good way to involve youth in the events as well as educate others about the different "types" of graffiti
Aerosol artists will provide demonstrations of their medium, creating a graffiti mural which will then be displayed in the council building. Artist Callum Lourensz, 20, said he hoped the demonstration would help raise the profile of graffiti in the local community as a form of art.

Nice to see mural art being promoted, especially in Texas. Will post photos if find some.
Dec 18, 2010 - Houston, TX - Once secretive and vaguely menacing but now active in advertising and local classrooms, Houston's leading graffiti artists are pushing for greater public acceptance with their first city-sponsored project — a 20,000-square-foot, $30,000 mural in downtown's Central Library parking garage. The seemingly strange meeting of outsider art and municipal bureaucracy is being played out in the fluorescent-lit underground garage as spray masters Gonzo247 and MERGE360 employ a palette of custom-designed paints to interpret the library's theme, "Linking You to the World." In coming weeks, the artists - men in their late 30s who have sprayed graffiti since adolescence - will create images of Earth's continents filled with portraits of indigenous peoples and connected by a trail of paint splatter. The painting will be completed next month. To the artists and their assistants, who work early mornings, late nights and days on which the library is closed, the project represents a new level of public acceptance - vindication for years of practicing an art scorned by proper society. To Houston Public Library officials, it is another means of appealing to teens and young adults.

I like this suggestion, get more urban art out there on blank surfaces - will block tagging for the most part, give artusts an outlet, and get Dallas used to what urban art can look like.
Some Suggestions for Our New Graffiti Czar - Dallas News - Unfair Park.
Dec 17, 2010 - Dallas - As mentioned in September, I've been advocating for quite a while on Grits that government begin to identify blank, under-utilized portions of the city landscape -- underpasses, concrete drainage areas, even the backside of street signs -- and allow street art there on a permission-based basis. ... Ideally, in this writer's opinion, the practice should be widespread, with available 'canvases' across every city and content only limited by obscenity laws and disallowing hate speech and known criminal street gang references
