Vandalism of Public Art (Bend, Redwood: live, designers, rich)

[BendLocal]

So sad to see this happening in Bend!

It's a tragedy when it happens anywhere. More and more fools continue to be born and the rest have to make allowances for them.

Surely this can be cleaned off.

Definitely.

A shame regardless, but it happens everywhere.

Where is this?

I hope it can be cleaned off without damaging the art. I'd guess it will depend the type of original paint used and if/how it was sealed.

This is the Columbia street underpass on the DRT.

It really bothers me to see this.

It makes me ill to see the damage being done to the Majestic Redwood Trees.

OK. So nobody noticed "Vandalism" was the art? Is this even in Bend? Where?

I have no idea what you are getting at with that comment. This is a fairly well known public piece of art.

Deschutes River Trail - Murals - Bend OR | Old Mill District

The mural images in both tunnels reflect the rich and thriving riparian areas along the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District. Local artist Paul Allen Bennett, an arts instructor at Arts Central and whose work is at Tumalo Art Co., created the mural design and oversaw the execution of the painting with the kids and designers.

To complete the painting, more than twenty Nike designers and staff worked shoulder to shoulder with Arts Central’s Art Academy students and kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs.

Thank You. I'll have to go bye and take a look.

I've been noticing a little more tagging going on in certain parts of town. They hit two areas not too far from where I live. Losers.
