Following the whitewashing of an anti-war mural commissioned by MOCA, a group consisting of artists, veterans, and anti-war activists gathered outside the museum to let the public and the museum staff, in particular director Jeffrey Dietch, feel their disapproval.

The group used a homemade "laser graffiti gun" to spray their (temporary) message on the wall where BLU's mural briefly existed.
