The Oklahoma Capitol wasn't made for you and me to use as a canvas, at least not without permission.

The agency in charge of state property management responded to a large art piece of Oklahoma folk hero Woody Guthrie that was projected onto one side of the Capitol on Monday night.

“We appreciate the creativity and ingenuity displayed by local artists last night, but it's important to note that projecting images onto the state Capitol is prohibited without the necessary permits,” a statement from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services read.

The image was projected onto a white tarp that covers scaffolding on the north side of the building. It shows Guthrie holding his guitar that was famously emblazoned with the phrase, "This machine kills fascists." In the image projected Monday, the guitar bears the words, "How did it come to this."
