Describe the challenge you want to address:: "A lot of young people/artist in general don't have a space/outlet where they can express themselves artistically. This results in them doing graffiti around the city (and then subsequently getting arrested in legal trouble for that). "
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:: "Turn an abandoned building/warehouse into a space where people can create art (we mostly were thinking about graffiti and young people specifically).
