An arts advocacy group has accused Mayor Lovely Warren of misrepresenting an outdoor mural of Daniel Prude pictured in promotional materials that complemented her recent State of the City address, in which she pledged to foster “a bold new era of public art.” The group, Roc Arts United, wrote in a letter dated Jan. 25 that, according to the artists who created the mural, their work was “a direct response to the city of Rochester’s involvement in Mr. Prude’s death.” “The city’s use of these images re-contextualizes the artworks and misrepresents the artists’ intentions,” the letter read. “We strongly condemn the mis-use of these artworks in this manner.”
