Our libraries make it a practice to display Local Artist’s art inside various branches of our library system. This practice has been well received by our dwindling reading public. The artists themselves really appreciate this exposure because they are all starving.
One of our artists had eight paintings of his hanging in a library branch. His display was scheduled to be up for another month but, because of the complaint of ONE SINGLE patron, he has had to remove his artwork.
The issue that offended the ONE SINGLE patron was that the eight paintings were of well-know local Evangelical Preachers. The ONE SINGLE patron complained that the subjects of the paintings were only Christian Preachers. She was not Christian and, therefore, she objected and the dog’s tail wagged all of us.
I just went to the artist’s web site and was presented with this message:
Sorry, the site you requested
has been disabled.
This is eerie. Is it possible that our starving and rejected artist has had more than just his library card canceled?
Would I kid u?
