Complaints of indecency in downtown Greenville sculptures could cost local Hispanic group

[TexasTowelie]

Complaints from residents who are upset about sculptures of "naked men" in downtown Greenville may cause the Hispanic Alliance to lose a county grant.

An advisory panel had recommended awarding an accommodations-tax grant of $7,500 to the Hispanic Alliance to promote the Wings of the City sculptures that were unveiled April 2 in Falls Park and on the Peace Center campus.

Greenville is the first city east of the Mississippi River to host the traveling exhibit by world-renowned Mexican artist Jorge Marín.

But Greenville County Council Chairman Willis Meadows objected to the grant during a Finance Committee meeting Monday afternoon.

1. SMH. Some cities have whole parks full of nekkid sculptures

and somehow the town's civilization doesn't collapse into decadence and debauchery. For example:

Wonder if part of the pushback is because artist is from Mexico ?
What would they do in Europe ?
