would like the town council to build a wall in the town centre where griffiti artist can display their skills without fear of favour.
We are lucky in Calne in that there is not a graffiti problem. There was some which had to be removed from the Leisure Centre walls but in general Calne is graffiti free.
a wall would be a excelent idea for local gaffiti artists.
i take it from the second comment you have never seen the benches at the park by school road then.to be fair it hasnt been added to in quite a while and im happy to say that the trees have not been damaged either.

There is tonight a flash of excellent graffiti in a tunnel in London done by Banksie and a load of his mates from as far away as Brasil, USA and Australia. Some of it could go in the Louvre.
There is a piece on the bus shelter opposite the cinema in Chippenham reckoned to be a Banksie.
I like all art when it's good, or makes me laugh or says something profound or relevant...

The chippenham graffiti is not an original banksy work but just an imitation, looks like someone has cut out a print and stencilled it on.
On second thoughts though would that make it a banksy? |

Peter:
Graffiti in Calne could easily be done under some of the bridges without much controversy. There is one very ugly grey area under Prince Charles Drive where the Marden Brook flows under.
It is an idea to make a mural there. I wonder, would you be interested in getting involved when the Marden restoration project gets underway?
