Thumb's down for graffiti art in Ogden

EHM | 11:07 a.m. Oct. 30, 2007

I drove past this building every day on my way to work and there was nothing artistic about it. It was a nice idea, but unfortunetly it just became an eyesore. I am glad Ogden city made them get rid of it.

so if it isnt even profane what is the problem? When they first allowed this to happen what did they expect was going to be painted? Some Monet? I think its sad how closed minded this state is. And I completely agree with Neeleys statement "...their opinion that the only art there is is landscapes and flowers." AMEN!

Wall Art Gallery project manager Milt Neeley paints over a graffiti art project on a building in Ogden. "I'm disgusted with their opinion that the only art there is is landscapes and flowers," he said.
