Early Summer Highlights Of The Art Wall at Beacon's Skate Park At Memorial Park

Ever since Beacon’s Parks and Recreation Department rolled a fresh coat of gray paint onto the Art Walls at Beacon’s Skate Park at Memorial Park, the designs have been flourishing on both walls. The wall on the right has come to be used for bigger pieces of art, and wall on the left for smaller sketches.

There’s been thoughtfully shaded letters applied, covered then by a message that said “Gentrifiers Ruin Everything.” Save for the irony in that action over the letters, nor do we know if the sprayer of that message also has their own roots in gentrifying.

Next was a large portrait of faces with different facial expressions. Lots of shading there. Hombre. But it got covered up by symbols and a proud “Beacon Boys” and “Beacon All Day.”

Skulls of various scenarios are emerging on the opposite wall. Summer just started, so we should have a lot to watch in coming changes.

New Graffiti Art Drops At Beacon's Skate Park

Popping on the art wall at the Beacon Skate Park is this new design, fresh in yellow and orange shades from a background of blue.

The art wall was erected last year as part of the Participatory Budget Program the City of Beacon has with Beacon High School, and has seen a series of designs. Even someone who popped a prom question. That’s in ALBB’s archives, and will be published so that you can see.
