I’m glad to live in a time when graffiti artists have their own websites. I ran across this painting of a unicorn on a fence. Okay, maybe it’s not graffiti. They probably had permission. The picture is witty and playful. It’s nice to see. Apparently, the unicorn is the work of the Agitators. A visit to their website (www.agitatorscollective.com/) reveals some interesting ideas. Their “mission” reads: “AGITATORS is a collective of vibrant individuals setting out to engage the Jersey City community as a creative asset. We share the happy burden of art making through collective action.” I’m not sure exactly what that means—is the asset the collective or the community? Inexact dichotomies aside, there is a compelling theme throughout their website, “We Will Save Beauty.” Finally, artists not too cool to mention beauty. That aspiration must be commended.
