Posted on: August 27th, 2008 Don’t Ban The Can
This September 20, don’t miss Don’t Ban the Can – a north side event raising awareness around the impact of the latest installment of anti graffiti laws in Melbourne.
Through a healthy mix of excellent local music and an exhibition of approximately 200 prominent local and international artist’s works, the team behind Don’t Ban the Can support Melbourne’s culture and understand the implications of criminalizing the city’s prominent arts and cultural base.
Jeremy Gaschk of Don’t Ban the Can says “Melbourne is portrayed as the city of colourful lane-ways, of
progressive design and street fashion in tourism campaigns from many government funded bodies. We realise that street art and graffiti is a key contributing factor to the very culture that is bringing interstate and international tourists to our city.
We wanted to hold a day celebrating this very fact in a non violent way.” Throughout the day there will be live street art demonstrations by local graffiti artists, DJ’s and break dancers. “This day is about good art, good music and awareness. We encourage all to come down to support our stance
on these laws” said Gaschk.
