Carolina Bowl Mural project

Offensive tagging and graffiti was going off the hook at Carolina back in 2008, so EPSA purchased $1,000 worth of paint and coordinated a mural project with City parks and local aerosol art legends Grave Herrera and Mike Yrobali.

With the “Seascape” concept approved, EPSA worked with Parks to power wash the surface and fix small cracks before applying a primer coat of outdoor acrylic paint.

The aerosol went on top with the artists mentoring local kids on how it’s done proper. the graffiti deterrent performed well – the big bowl went completely un-tagged for more than a year!

The project was featured in an April 7, 2009 El Paso Times article titled Muralists decorate skatepark, Seascape aims to deter taggers at popular site
