Cuts: 5 Pointz

5 Pointz Aerosol Art Center Inc. is an old five story factory building thats covered in graffiti by artists from all over the world. Located at Jackson avenue and Davis street in Queens, it's an awe inspiring sight I get to see every week as I take the 7 train to my internship at Brand Workers. Inside, it's honeycombed with the studios of artists, djs, mcs, filmmakers and photographers. 

Unfortunately, 5 Pointz is being targeted by developers, who wish to convert the space into luxury condominiums and a shopping mall. 5 Pointz is a an incredible artistic achievement, and should not be vandalized by greedy suits. Take action, write letters, visit 5 Pointz, get out there and do something.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Remember that this day isn't just a religious day or an excuse to get drunk. It's a day when we remember the work of the Irish who helped build this country. We remember the sweat and sacrifice of people who simply wanted a dignified life for themselves and their family.
