Funds raised at the benefit will go towards CITYarts' new program, 
"Engaging Graffitti Kids in Creation, not Destruction"
Through this program, CITYarts will invite former graffiti offenders
to use their talent in a positive way, both creatively and artistically
to paint murals on community walls they previously vandalized.







We look forward to your support!
