Graffiti Hall of Fame

New York City is the birthplace of style writing. It is here that young graffiti writers first began to transform letters from single tags on a wall to elaborate masterpieces of colorful letters embellished with characters. Since the days when graffiti first gained popularity in New York City, the schoolyards were congregation locations for kids eager to practice graffiti writing while hanging out. One of their favorite painting spots since the late 1970's was a schoolyard in Harlem, used by artist from the neighborhood to hone their painting skills. This playground eventually later became New York City's official Graffiti Hall of Fame. Graffiti Hall of Fame has been in existence for over 37 years and has been a cornerstone of NYC's hip-hop movement and evolution over the decades. The legacy continues.
