[RP TownTalk] graffiti and art

[michelle burns]

While I can understand Gerald's point of view regarding graffiti, I think that 
most people would make a distinction between racial slurs and obscenities 
scrawled on a wall and the examples of murals and graffiti that Bruce showed us 
(I don't think anyone would argue that what the op found in the park was 
"art"!).  It may not be your cup of tea but graffiti art can be well-crafted and 
expressive.  Why not have a dedicated space made available to graffiti artists, 
but at the same time crack down on gang related/offensive/obscene graffiti?

They way I look at it, there's a lot of very talented graffiti artists crying 
out for a venue.  I suggest we give them one and make allowances for them in 
every major metropolitan area in the country.  Give the artists a place to do 
their work and bring their works to the fore.
