City Affair February: Graffiti, Art or Vandalism?

Time	Thursday, February 3 · 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Location	Fort Gondo 3151 Cherokee Street Saint Louis, MO
More Info	Graffiti is as old as civilization itself, with examples found thousands of years ago in the pyramids of ancient Egypt and the Roman city of Pompeii. In contemporary America, any resident or visitor to a city--or even small towns--will see graffiti covering overpasses, abandoned structures and the sides of buildings. On February 3, City Affair will host a panel discussion that asks the following questions: Is graffiti a valid form of artistic or political expression? Does graffiti contribute to a sense that a neighborhood is blighted? Can graffiti be a positive influence on city life, or is it always detrimental? Who decides what is good graffiti, and what is bad? Can different sides of the graffiti debate come to a consensus on its validity? Please come to City Affair and contribute your opinions and questions. The panel discussion will be followed by a question and answer session from the audience. Doors open at 7:00 PM, discussion begins at 7:30. Panelists include: Peat Wollaeger, internationally renowned stencil artist, famous for his signature "EYE" and colorful characters & videos: www.stenSOUL.com Angelo Olegna, "Mayor of Cherokee Street" Raven Fox, http://www.ravenfox.net/ And additional panelists to be announced.
