Street Art, by Robert Sweeny (Editor, Art Education Magazine)
I was impressed by the willingness of Art Education magazine to embrace a theme like street art. After rifling through copies of the magazine from the sixties and seventies, it’s obvious the publication has come a very long way. “Street art is contradictory: a form of artistic expression that resists institutional legitimacy while it simultaneously becomes more widespread, more accepted—an institution in it’s own right.” (4)
