Graffiti Wall at Garvin Park Levee
Summary
The board approved the city's first community graffiti wall on the levee behind Garvin Park, run by a student-led arts group with posted rules and daylight-only access. Supporters say it gives local artists a legal outlet and could reduce vandalism; the levee authority and Army Corps signed off with a primer requirement.
