The Yard
Writerz Blok is the first legal graffiti art park in the nation. Offering over 10,000 sq. ft. of paintable walls, it is free to the public to bring their creativity and paint. The art park attracts an average of more than 500 youth, artists, community members, and visitors each month. Artists from all over the world come to leave their legacy on the walls and share their knowledge with the youth. Young artists come because it encourages artistic exploration in a safe, gang-neutral environment.
The Yard has been showcased as a backdrop in photo shoots for music producers, dance crews, magazines, fashion schools, and the San Diego Police Department. The photos have been used on magazine covers, spreads, cases, and posters. Recently it has also been discovered by MTV and film producers for its urban art appeal.
