Graffiti as Art or Vandalism?

Having our headquarters near the downtown Los Angeles Arts District it is hard not to run into some kind of graffiti. But is graffiti really vandalism or self expression?

In a place like, the Los Angeles Arts District, art (or expression) is highly encouraged, and there’s not one nook that goes unscathed, or for lack of a better word bombed. What used to be the Warehouse District has turned into an environment that hones artists’ display of art in every alleyway, and every building. The beautification of a neighborhood that use to look war torn can be highly attributed to one; the local leadership of the community, and secondly; local artist that have contributed and continue to contribute throughout the entire district.
