They want to collect public opinions about the value and purpose of public art, and you might learn what they're doing with all the money they get from foundations. I know that Intermedia Arts does A LOT more than display graffiti art and paint murals. They hold dance performances, show films, music, photography, etc. I'm not sure if they still do this, but years ago, when affiliated with the U of M, they offered accredited coursework in the arts. It's unfair to blame IA for graffiti in the uptown area, just because there's a correlation does NOT mean there's causation. A canvas doesn't get credit for a painters inspiration.
