The hotel Justin was staying at is declaring itself a graffiti Belieber, despite being at odds with the city government. QT Hotel in the Gold Coast said it gave Justin Bieber permission to spray graffiti on its wall. Jjustin and some and others posted images online showing cartoon faces in fluorescent paint on an outdoor wall at the hotel in Queensland state.
After hearing criticism, the hotel changed its Facebook page cover art Thursday to show Bieber, his graffiti and the declaration:
He asked, and we said YES.
The Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate says Justin risked undermining the city's efforts to fight graffiti and ordered him to removed what it or to come back and sing a Christmas Choral for an hour.
In a letter to the hotel, Tate asserted the city can insist on removal of graffiti in private spaces if it's visible from public spaces.
But in further posts on its Facebook page, QT Hotel defended Bieber as an excellent hotel guest and said it wanted to promote graffiti as an art form. It invited artists to share examples of their work to be judged, with select artists being offered a hotel wall they could spray-paint themselves.
Well, there you go Mr. Mayor Tate, the hotel wanted Justin to have the grafitti on their wall, he asked for permission and they gave it to him. The hotel being the owners of the building I would like to think that they have all the permission they want to allow whatever they want in their property. They want to promote grafitti as an art and I mean, which artist wouldn´t want to go to such a hotel and leave something that will last?
