Is LA Squelching Public Art? On Monday of this week, no less than five skywriting airplanes spelled out the words, "End Mural Moratorium. Art is Not a Crime. Twitter at End Mural Moratorium." Along with the names of several street artists, those words were very clear and visible over City Hall in downtown Los Angeles.

Its walls are covered with murals by street artists Shepard Fairey , Retna and Kenny Scharf .
