In this episode we look at the Shinola hotel in downtown Detroit that is about to cover a part of a great Shepard Fairey mural that he painted two years ago. In other words, we talk about business versus art… Who will win!? 

Also, we have a go fund me project and we’re trying to raise money for it because we got a matching grant from the Battle Creek Community Foundation and we need to raise funds for the matching part of it. It’s a new podcast series that will look at the art scene in different cities. To contribute please go to: www.gofundme.com/stateofthearts. We need your support!
