Pop quiz: How much does it cost to go a museum? How much for a student? Museums can range from free to about $30 for admission. But even more than this confusion, I believe museums suffer from a lack of consistent expectations when it comes to price and purchase options. So why can’t museums do it?

The kind of art I do is art that gets engaged into the public. Whether it's my posters in the street, or books that I'm publishing that are getting out to bookstores, or workshops, or my speaking in different universities with different young people, I really see art as a way of changing our communities.
