Graffiti Mural
In the Dixon Hall Graffiti Transformation Project, sixteen youth ages 14-21 create beautiful and meaningful murals that are displayed throughout the Regent Park community. These murals allow youth to express their feelings and provide them with a positive and productive outlet to deal community issues that are important to them.
The Graffiti Transformation Project increases teamwork among youth, highlighting the benefits of working together toward a common goal, with an educational and experiential focus. The youth are supported by a Youth Worker who assists them in drilling down their thoughts and feelings to images that can be brought to life on canvas, where their stories can be told and appreciated The project provides an opportunity for youth to cultivate confidence, develop strong social and employment skills, and build their self-esteem while developing their artistic, communication and positive conflict resolution skills.
