“Common sense prevailed,” Eyes on Main founder and artistic director Jerome De Perlinghi told Times reporter Christopher Long. Financial support for the public art show had been in jeopardy since Mayor Carlton Stevens ripped an EOMS photograph off the wall May 30 in a fit of pique. Perhaps the city attorney or city manager gave council members a much-needed primer on First Amendment fundamentals. The Eyes on Main curator told the Times he’ll be sure to thank City Council members for their support. Kudos, Wilson City Council, for preserving public art and artistic freedom.
