Letter: It"s a great idea to address graffiti with more legal walls
May 12, 2008
To the Editor:
In response to Nick Claussen’s article “Council Hopes to Clean Up Graffiti,” we agree with Kent Butler.
We feel his idea to designate more graffiti walls in Athens is a great idea. Though graffiti can sometimes detract from an area’s beauty with gang signs and violent images, graffiti showing positive images can not only make an area more beautiful, but also show off an artist’s style.
It can also be a great way of expressing a person’s feelings, and it’s such a creative way of artistic expression. More graffiti walls around Athens, such as the one on Richland, would deter artists from drawing illegal graffiti, and would give them a positive place to express their opinions.
