The Blago Trial Circus


An article about artist Ray Noland publicizing his exhibition at the Chicago Urban Art Society in front of the federal courthouse where the trial of Rod Blagojevich has begun.

From The Huffington Post:
A few days into the trial, members of the Chicago Urban Art Society turned-up in front of the Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse, with plans for a little PR stunt of their own.

The group had brought cupcakes for trial attendees, each capped with a sketch by artist Ray Noland of Rod Blagojevich in a jogging suit.

The goal of the CUAS's little visit was to promote Noland's new pop art exhibit called "Sweet Tea and American Values," which features a number of Blagojevich themed pieces by Noland.
