A Los Angeles group holds a graffiti party and want to build an “aerosol art park with an art supply store and big canvas panels. Once embraced by the mainstream and given a legal place to work, poor graffiti artists could stop risking their lives tagging freeway signs and start holding museum openings.” But a Los Angeles Times editorial makes fun of the idea: “Please, hold the breathless praise for graffiti artists.’ They have defaced the sides of too many elementary schools, scarred the trunks of beautiful old sycamores, destroyed sorely needed benches in already scarce parks. In neighborhoods used as canvases for graffiti, people tend to call it vandalism, not art. They don’t throw a party; they call the police.”
