Urban Art - not Graffiti! - ask th' Council...



This fun buccaneering Urban Art event was instigated after reading statements by Council in the local paper about their having an Urban Arts Policy.  We phoned  to ask about the policy, not wanting to break any rules... and were told that they didn't actually have one! (???)  Great! a loop hole, they have one, but they haven't really!  Covert urban art.  Nelson artists wanting to do our bit to join in the other urban art festivities in Nelson....!

  5. Well I dunno about R0 - from what I've seen, his talent is for skulling rum and de-skulling dickheads like anony#3 ... so watch yerself, matie. The team Ro's got behind him includes some top artists, who just wanna have some fun and brighten up the town. Eh. -- (Anon #1 and #2)
