Art Held Hostage



With many non-profits struggling during these economic times, a group in Denver wanted to put a spotlight on the arts. To make people aware that public art and all art in the city comes at a cost, public art pieces across Denver were covered with black plastic and wrapped with yellow caution tape.

The URL of
www.artforransom.org was also featured prominently, and on that site people can pay ransom notes and learn more on how they can get involved. Very clever guerrilla marketing.
