Graffiti Task Force

In 2007, the District Council Collaborative Boards convened a Graffiti Task Force to improve city neighborhoods and remove an element of physical blight. To date, over 250 areas of graffiti have been removed throughout the City of Camden. The District Council Collaborative Boards work on an ongoing basis to ensure that graffiti is removed from our communities. This is another all volunteer board effort which is coordinated with the several agencies and non-profits throughout the City of Camden. The Graffiti Task Force also works to enhance the image of the city. To date, four professional murals have been painted. In addition, 10 murals have been painted in the North Camden Community through the NJ Youth Work Group and Rutgers University-Camden Center for the Arts Community Outreach. The overall objective of this task force is to improve the Quality of Life for residents by removing physical blight that draws/promotes a criminal element.

Current Task Force Happenings:

Due to current weather conditions, the Task Force is not removing graffiti at this time.

We will resume clean up work in late March 2012

In the meantime, please identify graffiti and post it on the Interactive Issue Map. This way our cleaning crew can identify the location and add it to our Spring Cleaning List.

Please check back for updates!
