A group of Louisville artists have teamed up to paint several murals at Louisville's David Armstrong Extreme Park, a 40,000-square-foot public skate park in Butchertown.

The artists partnered with the city of Louisville and Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith, (D-4th District), more than a year ago with the idea to transform the skate park into an outdoor art gallery, complete with murals painted by a group of talented visuals artists, to help combat graffiti that has previously plagued the park space.

“This mural is truly an expression of the energy and colorful nature of this park and I want to thank the artists who brought their unique graffiti style forward for everyone to appreciate,” Sexton Smith said in a news release. “Let this mural be an inspiration and attraction that leads to other creative works in District 4.”

The mural includes a wide range of work, from a large Louisville title banner, complete with a shot of a skateboarder on a handrail, to abstract markings with fleur de lis details.

The brains behind the mural are Wilfred E. Sieg of Art Cartel, three members of the group Often Seen Rarely Spoken — who asked not to be identified to keep the focus on the art — and Braylyn 'Resko' Stewart.

For the past few years, Stewart as lead artist coordinated the mural with $15,000 funding from Metro Parks and Sexton Smith.

"It is something the community can be proud of. The obscene and negative graffiti made it somewhat of an eyesore but now, you can bring your family and friends down," Sieg said. "It's more approachable."
