Hello Summer 2009 part 3 of 11
Layers upon layers pulsate with raw creativity. A gallery under the sun without prices or the driving force of sales awaits for the next set of eyes to crawl is slab of ancient concrete. The steep embankments of The Carlsbad Pit are covered with colorful doodles, each unique to the mind of the creator and all part of the growth of local expression. The walls change with each wave of visitors and faded doodles of longtime ideas peek through the freshly painted characters of yesterday.
The Carlsbad art scene is on the rise. The village is a canvas and minds are brainstorming ways to paint it. Art connects minds and our community is reaching out. Unaware to most, but an art scene has been flourishing out of the view of the public for over a decade. Definitely not in local brochures and probably not discussed in the halls of the Inns, but a Carlsbad Summertime favorite spot is just under your nose… just remember, the pit is our gift!
Should art be considered local recreation? Do local artists need a facility to create amongst others?

Ok, I’ve seen pics of this place but have still yet to find it….help another Cbad newbie who has not been able to find it in the 3 years I’ve been here…
And is it hidden enough to paint without interuption or is it covert ninja style?
There was a spot I saw in London that was the same thing. A good little skate park with grafitti art layered over and over every wall and embankment. It was quite nice. It worked well…
That would be the South Bank Skatepark on the Thames River:
