This site has been up since 2003 to preserve/share art that gets painted over or disappears to somewhere else. Many thanks to Vermont, the writers, the bombers, the sympathizers, and those who take photos (of the art).

"Society can do something for art, because it can increase liberty, and in a [free] atmosphere, art thrives. Even politicians can do something. ... They can defend originality from the hatred of the mediocre mob. They can make an end of the doctrine that the State has a right to crush unpopular opinions in the interest of public order. ... What will not cause a riot is probably not worth saying. At present, to agitate for an increase of liberty is the best that any ordinary person can do for the advancement of art." - Clive Bell from Art, 1913.
