ALTOIDS SPONSORS GRAFFITI “WALLS
OF FAME”
The art-loving Altoids mint company is sponsoring a pair
of graffiti “Walls of Fame,” public collaborative murals that showcase young
graffiti writers. The New York mural goes up on June 3 in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn, at Bedford and North 4th Street, and involves 15 artists: Dalek, Dona,
Doze, Erni, West, Muck, Yes, Ces, Rebel, Daze, Ezo, Skwerm, Kenji, Leia and
Bisc. The second wall—over 500 feet long—is located in Miami’s Wynwood
district, at NW 24th Street and NW 6th Avenue, and goes up on June 19. The Miami
graffiti roster is Edec, Sar, Kvee, Mek, Freek, Elex, Shie, Sae, Rage, Dash,
Solo, View2, Jes, Gwiz and Smash. What’s more, according to Altoids, the walls
carry no corporate branding.
