Who doesn’t love a good resurrection? The slick new HOPE Outdoor Gallery is a rare case where something dies to return bigger than before. The original free graffiti walls were artsy and underground, a no-man’s-land of creativity. Its new location near the airport offers more space and more opportunities to grow. People can truly learn the craft. Large walls and rows of abandoned trailers give plenty of canvas, while an official gift shop and cafe provide everything from stencils and spray cans to lattes and pastries. Weekly spray demos and specialized classes spread the message to all potential graffiti writers, including young’uns.
