End Mural Moratorium: Art Is Not A Crime

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Los Angeles municipal code defines murals as signs and the permitting process constitutes an effective ban on this art. Art in the public space is necessary for a healthy visual environment, a counter balance to grey walls and endless advertising. Los Angeles was once the ‘Mural Capital of the World’ and this city should claim that title again! Murals are not signs and art is not a crime! Tell Mayor Villagaigosa and the L.A. City Attorney’s office to end the mural moratorium now. Go sign on line NOW!...
