Review"Some people join Greenpeace and throw themselves in front of assive whaling ships.. which is a good thing, but not all of us are destined to become committed social activists. Inspired by the philosophy that great change can begin with smal steps, The Guerilla Art Kit is about inventive ways to not only take a stand on issues about which you feel passionate, but also contribute to the world creatively." -- Frances Atkinson --Make It Yourself, August 4, 2007

The Museum would appear to be justifying this as "free speech" (which is what pornographers claimed). And if it is public property (or approved private property) what business is it for the city to regulate "free speech"?
PS, the graffiti task force has also taken issue with people who have the property owner's approval spray painting on their property.
