Artists Gathered This Weekend to Save 5Pointz

This Saturday, artists rallied to save 5Pointz — right after a judge denied the artists a permanent injunction to stop building demolition. The two-hour event brought hundreds of people to the so-called graffiti mecca. Gothamist attended and said “much of the two-hour Save 5 Pointz Rally felt more like a ‘final, fond farewell’ than an angry political demonstration.” In a last ditch effort the save the building, the artists are petitioning to landmark it. If that doesn’t work they plan to form a human-chain around 5Pointz to block the bulldozers come demolition day. Jerry and David Wolkoff plan to demolish the building by the end of the year.
