  • Recently, Snyder Elementary School in Las Vegas, Nevada was the site of an exciting indoor mural project. This project was a volunteered project by Graffiti Park Las Vegas and brought together 32 talented artists to transform 8000 square feet of space with 28 curated murals over the course of three days. This was the first community collaboration art project in a while, and one of the largest projects to date. This school project was different than most, as it was a combination of commission and CCAP. We were able to paint all 3 sets of the schools portable classrooms.

    The theme of the project was to create a colorful and motivating environment for the students. The murals included beautiful colors, inspiring quotes and fun illustrations to help excite kids for school. The use of bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes created a visually striking display that was sure to delight students and visitors alike. The artists used their own creative style and imagination to bring the murals to life with a one of a kind mural that is sure to impress and inspire.

    One of the unique aspects of this project was the collaboration between the 32 artists ranging from 12 to 55 years old. We also were able to feature the work of a new artist, who drove out from California and was in town to paint at the project. Each artist brought their own style and perspective to the mural, resulting in a diverse and dynamic final product. The project was a true celebration of the power of artistic collaboration and community.

    The completion of the mural project at Snyder Elementary School was met with great enthusiasm by the community and it was a great success. It has become a source of pride for the school and it has been enjoyed by many students and visitors. It is a great example of how public art can bring people together and create a sense of community.
