Annise Parker for Mayor and against Art

WTF?

skip to :21...

"I won't fund museums we can't afford..."

If this hardass is elected we can expect a tough few years for local arts funding; after hearing from people that she only wanted to fund permanent public art (and was specifically against other, more temporary forms, development grants, etc) I was skeptical of supporting Parker- but her involvement in the Wayne Dolcefinko hubub last year was not a fluke. She's taking her art-hatin' to the airwaves in an effort to sew up outer-loop support that may not like her position as a prominent LGBT politician.


Weak!

Thievery

Have you seen this art car? Last week it was stolen from it's home in Garden Oaks.

Art Cars are always a labor of love and this one especially. AC-8 was built by Johnny Rojas for his wife Cynthia.
