Art Patch Project Response to City’s Attack on Speech
The Art Patch Project gives art away in front of the Art Institute of Chicago
Volunteers are using art donated for art patches to educate the public
Artists who support making Chicago more friendly to artists want to change laws that limit artists speech rights' unreasonably
The Art Patch Project volunteers give the art-patches away with promotion for the artist and the cause on each art-patch
The public accepting our free art may visit the artists and our information online
After the Art Institute we visited the Picasso Plaza where Chicago Critical Mass gathers
Giving art away is our response to the violation of our speech rights by not allowing artists their full speech rights to sell their art in public
It is also our answer to the City which is railroading with a felony charge the artist arrested while testing the law limiting artists' rights
We have over 100 designs donated for use by artists with more being printed every week
Every month we intend to give art-patches away at the Chicago Critical Mass
We will continue to give art-patches away in public until we have the right to sell art-patches in public
