One graffiti wall is left standing at the original HOPE Outdoor Gallery location in Castle Hill on Thursday. The site is being demolished to make way for a condo development.
The new HOPE Outdoor Gallery will not open this summer as originally planned. Because of permitting and construction delays, the project creators are now looking at a December or January opening date, HOPE founder Andi Scull told KUT.
The new gallery is an 18-acre open-air cultural center near the airport that will feature art exhibits, practice paint walls and food and beverage options. The site is a revamped version of the Castle Hill graffiti park, which launched in 2011 and quickly became an Austin icon. The park closed in 2019 to make way for condos.
