Street Art is more than just Banksy or Shepard Fairey.
it’s the art deco movement that held LA’s hand as it boomed in the 20s-40s
it’s the signage that advertised Drive-Thrus and Diners in the 50s
it’s the murals on the sides of Liquor stores that served as indicators of the neighborhoods and their people from the 60’s through the 80s.
street art is the graffiti on Venice Beach, the tagging in South Central, the projections outside LA Live.
art in our streets is essential- support local arts projects, help end the moratorium.
