Why New Rules?

The walls are being threatened with removal unless tagging in the area is reduced and the area stays clean. Venice area residents have been complaining to the City of Los Angeles regarding tagging in the area. ICU Art has negotiated a Pilot Program with the City of Los Angeles in an effort to keep the walls up. We have developed this program as a six-month trail period to see if the program can succeed. The program is managed by ICU Art with the Graffiti Artist in mind. If the program is a success, there is the possibility of more yards in other parts of the city being opened. Please help make this program a success. Keep the walls alive.

Respect

• No alcoholic beverages
• No illegal drugs
• No dogs on weekends at the beach
• No tagging in the neighborhood
• Must be 18 years of age to use spray paint
• Help preserve this area for art!

This event is brought to you by ICU Art and co-sponsored by The Chrysalis Project & Sol Foundation.
