$22K FOR BEAUTIFUL ART TO STOP UGLY GRAFFITI

30 Jun 2016 Border Mail, Albury-Wodonga (General News) ALPINE Council is hoping the power of art can battle the problem of graffiti. A $22,605 Victorian government grant will be used for murals at Apex Park toilet facilities in Myrtleford. Northern Victoria MP Jaclyn Symes said the murals would educate students about the consequences of illegal graffiti. Communities welcome beautiful art, but graffiti vandalism is detested, not only does it affect the appearance of neighbourhoods, it influences perceptions of public safety, she said.
