Palama Piece Yard



The Kalihi Palama Youth Center offers an activity not seen at too many other centers. The back field doubles as a designated area for Hawaii's best graffiti artists, kids and adults alike. All are allowed to put their works on built pre-fabricated walls for drivers passing by the Vineyard exit to see, as well as respected and non-respected peers. Every weekend, new colorful pieces, murals, and "throwups"( bubble letters and words, usually painted quicker than normal) are created. You can see local crews or solo-artists out there on the weekend having a good time, fulfilling their passion for "Graff". The designation of a yard gives the opportunity to let some of Hawaii's talent shine, and also signifies the embrace of an artistic, alternate activity.
