Today’s online PDN survey question is: “Do you like public art in North Olympic Peninsula locations such as downtowns and waterfronts?” This question seems relevant right now, since some local artists have generated a lot of strong opinions, pro and con.

We have enough public "art."
No more, please!
We have enough already!

Yes, I do, but I don't consider some of that crap art.
I screwed up this morning and drove up Cedar St. instead of Tumwater St. so had to go over one of the new bridges.
But I went over it reeeely fast before it could fall down, ha ha ha.
Get rid of the rusty pieces of crap on Laurel.
Who calls that stuff downtown art?
The murals are fine, but those so called statues are hideous!
The city should have thrown that rusty junk off the 8th Street bridge.
we need more "art" than the incestous group of "artists" that populate our downtown. Enough already. One piece from one mediocre artist is tolerable, a street full of it is TOOOOO much.
Plus,who are we kidding...art? A middle class, run down ex-lumber mill town....like trying to upscale a five dollar old whore by hanging a Gucci purse on her arm...it's not fooling anyone. Lets try to be what we ARE, and go with the charm that is, instead of pretending we're an "art" enclave. Get real.
Jeez, tough audience here. Well, I like all this art downtown. There isn't any one sculpture that I think is great, but public art adds a certain feeling, a depth.
If ya want "depth" talk to one of the homeless down there. LOL.
One man's art is another man's junk.
Funny the repond I see from folks walking down Laurel Street. The majority just seem to have a need to interact with all that junk. So much for all you naysayers.
I think that the naysayers are just frick'n jelous that they didn't think of it.
