Mural Meet to imply going hard and being focused on your craft, having a positive, aggressive impact on community, making a statement, being heard, meeting new artists and building a professional portfolio. It’s the main reason I’m seeking Graffiti Writers/Artists & Street Artists to open new avenues of community relations and to help provide opportunity to my community and culture. It also relates to the initial location of this event, the Bang Brewing Company.”
