New graffiti on the “Cool Place”

Today the long process of renovating the youth space “Cool Place”, which lasted all summer, ended with unveiling of new graffiti canvases. The activity was a youth initiative by the Wild Creatives team. The activity aimed to maintain and improve the space, develop the creative potential in the youth and attract more people to this type of art. We sincerely thank graffiti artist Moral who painted this popular place that has brought young people in our city together for many years.
