I've heard a lot of talk about Intermedia Arts programs that (allegedly) basically train grafitti artists! Just check out the high percentage of grafitti in the area of their building - not probably a coincidence. I believe there were some articles published on this subject about a year or so ago. "Public Art" is a pretty broad term, and I'm not impressed with Intermedia Arts for a number of reasons. Other than use a lot of grant money for murals that may or may not be worthwhile (depending on your opinion),can someone please explain what else Intermedia Arts does with all the money they get from foundations, etc?
