The Town of Orangeville has launched a graffiti art wall at the skatepark in Rotary Park.
The first one approved was a concept by three young local artists
Cam Courtney, Steve Boyd and Ilyan Balicki, along with some help from artist Derrick Gray.
According to the artists, the wall’s first message is freedom. The words freedom, voice, and uplift were created.
“Graffiti art is growing and it’s here to stay,” said Ilyan. He added that the imagery symbolizes freedom in classic graffiti art form.
The graffiti art wall is located between the skatepark and the Rotary Park pavilion.
Young people, aged 11-17, are encouraged to participate to showcase their artistic graffiti skills.
