We have a local artist called Peachy, probably quite a good example. The artwork pops up unannounced but signed. Dont believe any have permission but none are removed as theyre pretty cool. The artist is anonymous and is often referred to as creating Banksy style pieces. This is 1 example which I had pinned as a gift postcard
I guess I mention Banksy because this is an international forum and hes well known, but there are many others
Further info:
The dictionary does. It’s the meaning of the word.
Is it though?
Street Artists Biographies is a list of some of the street artists who get some recognition.
I see those six wayspots have been restored. Good. Just don’t make me come back here 7 months from now to get them restored a third time.
And now the rest of my list, please. And judging by the look of things, there might be some new additions in a bit because it seems Niantic has been busy today too.
Yes, it’s right there in each. Seriously. 
Thanks. Still exceptions and not the rule, right? Most people wouldn’t jump for joy or go protect their wall if a street artist came and painted their property for most street artists.
We can’t keep trying to make rules for exceptional circumstances. The general idea is that most things fall into the most general category, and then it’s possible to make exceptions for exceptional situations, right?
None of these are on anyone’s private property.
Graffiti on private property has never been allowed… so that’s a non-issue.
I didn’t say anything about private property and the definitions say private or public property. Even public property typically has someone who has authority to approve how it is used.
And clearly the city approves of it, since they wouldn’t have made an entire website dedicated to showing off local street art if they didn’t.
I imagine people would also try to get it removed from their property if it wasn’t welcome. So it would already fail the requirements due to not being permanent.
That’s fine. As a particular case. You had lots of different examples above. We weren’t talking about a particular case, we were talking about what’s considered vandalism and what isn’t considered vandalism. As long as when you submit, you provide evidence that it is truly sanctioned, it shouldn’t be a problem. But it is on the submitter to make that clear, in most cases.
Found plenty more unjustified removals in today’s batch.
These can be added to the list, @NianticAaron
The Red Orange Yellow is defaced and contains graffiti that isn’t allowed.
Today’s batch of removals was surprisingly light on the unjustified ones, though it was focused on a part of town I basically never go to, so maybe I missed a few, but the players from that neighborbood can appeal those if they want them back.
Today’s two misfires:
Add them to the list @NianticAaron
Got two more from today’s batch of removals.
To the list they go @NianticAaron
This was a duplicate, theres another waypoint for this sign.
I followed the link to read about the art project, but the website says these painted utility boxes are temporary. “For a couple of months, you can also find painted electricity sockets on power distribution boxes. They’re all by Dutch artist Muugeherder.”
