Today I took a walk around downtown where I live and struck up a conversation with a street artist who uses spray paint as a medium to create and sell paintings he makes. I myself do these style of paintings and have always wanted to do something like this but have found it very hard to find a location where I can display my process and work to the public but also not violate any city laws. After telling him about my frustrations as a young artist he informed me that anyone who wants to do something like this just has to apply, and obtain an Olympia business license at a very low cost and they are free to take their craft public. This is something I was thrilled to hear about and I am hoping to start the process to get my own license that would allow me to do my art as well as sell my work publicly throughout the city.
