Graffiti Bar by Ali M Williams is a new spin on not only using the graffiti around Philadelphia for big walls seen by everyone but also small allies. This place was founded my Michael Schulson and commissions by Ali M Williams. It brings people in for a drink or food to discuss the graffiti they see at the bar and around Philadelphia.
This use of graffiti helps give the graffiti a positive connotation. Graffiti is often seen as something bad or related to gangs. Also this space now allows for artist and onlookers to come and talk about Philadelphia and other places are using street art to better the world.
