The City of Bend, Oregon, which is in roughly the geographic center of the state, appreciates the creativity of its local artists. It even promotes resident artists directly, showcasing their works. But it would prefer to have some oversight of what, where, and how art is displayed.
In an Instagram post, the city government requests that street artists refrain from attaching huge googly eyes to public statues. This is evidently a popular trend locally. The city does not object to the style, but asserts that the use of adhesives damages the statues and the repairs cost too much money.
