The Charles River Conservancy is launching their first “Graffiti-Artist-in Residence Program“. This opportunity is a mash-up of other community initiatives that include; Public Art Forums, Social Justice Skate Jams and various programs informed by public art consultants.
Even before the Lynch-Family Skate Park opened in 2016, more than 200 skate enthusiasts, of various backgrounds, brainstormed on architectural designs, artistic creations and lighting systems to extended park usage and FUN. Collaboration is needed again to shape a vision reflecting the changing needs and creativity of this special skate-park community.
