When
asked by KCET’s Juan Devis what I thought about a guest editorial
spot to expand the conversation on street art and murals. I said it was a great idea. Having Cheech Marin kick it off was fortunate timing,
and the series within a section offered points of view tapped from a
brain trust of academia, artists, advocates, and two well trained
emerging journalists driven to look at art at street level. The 2012
guest editorial series ended with a second post by G. James Daichendt
recapping the best street art stories of the year. Talking to each
author in preparation for their contribution was enlightening.
After the jump, a recap of Writing on the Wall guest editorials for KCET / Departures / Land of Sunshine,
