Nearly a month after the controversial street art event, Meeting of Styles Art Festival 2016, was cancelled in the Mission<\/a>, one of the participating artists has spoken out on the event, labeling it a \u201cdisaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

George Colon, a renowned New York street artist known also by his alias \u201cAIM SSB,\u201d was one of the many artists who traveled to San Francisco from across the globe to participate in a 3-day street art festival that was ultimately cancelled after mounting controversy involving the event\u2019s organizer, Lisa Jo Brewer.<\/p>\n

The event had been set to take place on Sept. 16-18 in various alleys and streets throughout San Francisco\u2019s Mission District, but was cancelled when Brewer failed to secure the proper street closure permits from the Interdepartmental Staff Committee on Traffic and Transportation (ISCOTT) on Sept. 8, a full week before the event was set to take place.<\/p>\n

According to one of the event\u2019s websites, artists from 23 different countries and 200,000 visitors were expected to attend. Apparently, many if not all of artists were unaware that the event had been cancelled by the time they got to San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf [Brewer] had that information, it\u2019s an injustice on her part,\u201d Colon told El Tecolote on Sept. 22. \u201cOne: not to relay that information to everybody, and two: everybody\u2019s money should’ve been compensated. That\u2019s not how you deal with in the professional world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colon became involved with the 2016 Meeting of Styles event when Brewer reached out to him late last year, well after the 2015 event. He had never met Brewer, and admitted feeling hesitant about participating in the 2016 event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018What is your objective?\u2019 and she said, \u2018To bring artists from all over the world so that they could paint in San Francisco,\u2019\u201d Colon said.<\/p>\n

According to Colon, Brewer verbally agreed to pay for his airfare and his lodging and Colon would also assist Brewer in promoting the event, help bring revenue into the community, and bring artists \u201cso they could paint in a healthy environment.\u201d Colon would also have an opportunity to sell his art.<\/p>\n

But two to three months prior to the event, Brewer began informing Colon about the event\u2019s trouble with securing sponsorship, slowly revealing that she couldn\u2019t pay for things.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I communicated with Lisa, there was a cumulative sense of discomfort and disarray,\u201d Colon said. \u201cLack of sponsorship, change of staff, and I don\u2019t know why. There was always a conversation like, \u2018this person is no longer with us,\u2019 or \u2018this person is one is not involved anymore.\u2019 I had that in the back of my mind, \u2018Why are we changing so much?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Colon spent $300 to ship six pieces of his art to Brewer in late August, and spent over $400 on his flight. Just a week before the event, Brewer told Colon that she didn\u2019t have the funds to pay for his room as once promised.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do,\u201d Colon said. \u201cMy art was there. My flight was paid. What do you do at that point?\u201d<\/p>\n

Colon arrived in San Francisco on Sept. 13 and booked a room through Sept. 19 on Travelodge, costing him $1,100. In total, Colon\u2019s stay in San Francisco cost him between $1,700 to $2,000.<\/p>\n

Upon returning to New York, Brewer once again promised to pay Colon his money. Since returning to New York, Brewer has twice via text message promised to pay Colon, but as of Oct. 12, Colon he hasn\u2019t been paid.<\/p>\n

The \u201cred flags\u201d surrounding the event became apparent on Colon\u2019s first day in the city. He saw that the Mission Art415 Gallery at 2884 Mission St., where his art was meant to be displayed, was disorganized, thrown together and without paperwork.<\/p>\n

Colon also met various artists and vendors at the gallery on Sept. 16, the morning of the event\u2019s first day, without places to paint and set up. He met four vendors who were demanding that they be reimbursed for the money they paid to be in the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very discouraging and very saddening to hear that they wanted their money back and there wasn\u2019t any money to be paid back to them,\u201d Colon said. \u201cMy motive was pure in going. I just didn\u2019t know I would face this disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colon began his art career in 1970 as a 10-year-old in the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, using graffiti art as a means to cope with the tumultuous dysfunction and alcohol-related violence present in his home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became a way of escaping from reality,\u201d said Colon, who met people in 1973 that showed him how to tag on the trains. \u201cIt was a fulfillment. It wasn\u2019t right, \u2018cause I was vandalizing and it was unlawful, but it was all I knew how to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

After doing a year and a half stint in juvenile detention in 1975, Colon took a drafting course for a company looking to hire him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was my way out. So when they called and said do I want to get paid for drawing, I took that opportunity and got out of New York City at the age of 17.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the last five years, Colon has worked as a New York State-certified recovery coach, helping people overcome their addiction to drugs ranging from alcohol to heroin. Colon himself has been sober for 11 years, something that played a factor in participating in the Meeting of Styles event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do feel at this point that i was exploited. I\u2019m in recovery, and I try to believe in people,\u201d Colon said. \u201cI\u2019m saddened over the result of what happened. And the financial burden that many of us experience. I would hope that people with integrity would not act this way again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
