I was in Louisville, Kentucky the other day and stumbled upon this wall. I had never seen anything like this and since I am fascinated by all types of street art, I had to stop and check it out. The wall is located at 815 East Main Street, directly in front of the Speed Art Museum’s office in NuLu (that’s what the locals call it). Gill & Augusta Holland, Brett Jeffreys, Heather Kleisner, Rebecca Matheny and Gregg Rochman are responsible for this wall project, and they intend to take it to other parts of the city so that a variety of Louisville residents will be able to write on it and experience this interactive art.
You don’t have to worry about the chalk, it’s there for you to use, and you have several different colors to choose from.
The wall has different things written on it all the time because it is erased often so others can write their wishes.
I didn’t realize this was a thing! We have a similar installation in our neighborhood for the school kids’ community garden. Instead our says, “Before I graduate. . .” I love art like this!
Me too! I’m not big on art in museums but street art is fabulous to me.
