Why this petition matters

Started by Mari Lyn

This place is an open air art museum for the unique and beautiful art form that is graffiti.  G&M realty plans to demolish the building to build two high rise apartement buildings intended for the financially affluent.  While they are offereing the 5 pointz group studio space and the opportunity to curate the building, buch of this will be the antithesis of what it was that the graffiti mecca represented to the artists who journeyed there on a pigrimage to see artists' work that have inspired them.  The art on dispay at 5 pointz is for the public.  It is a place for artists to legally put their art on display, and it is a lifetime goal for many of us.  Please, support the cause to save this beautiful open air art museum and prevent it from being turned into apartments, retail space, and a parking garage. You wouldn't tear down the Louvre would you? That's how much this means to graffiti artists around the world.
