Local artists: which of you would have an interest in creating a politically editorial artwork, something directly referencing the infamous tragic incident, and exhibiting it in an art show? There’s likely a lot of potential participants given the huge number of Creatives in town. But I anticipate the biggest hurdle to such a show would be in finding a suitable venue. I’m certain an Art show like the one I’m imagining here would give voice to many strong opinions centered on the infamous traffic incident.

But given the ties of the art scene to real estate in this town, would any gallery dare to host a show like that?

I don’t think galleries are tied to developers I just think developers and the city co opted the once thriving art scene to sell real estate to bozos who think living near a mural makes them hip and urban. There are definitely smaller galleries and collectives that would participate.
