Should roller shutters be considered?

I often see nominations for murals or drawings made on roller shutters (often from shops).
For example:

However, they are not permanent, meaning that when the roller shutter is up, they are not visible, so they wouldn’t be visible for the shops. Currently, when I come across one during a review, I skip it, but I’d like to know how they should be considered.

Thanks.

Well the roller door itself qualifies as permanent as it is an installed part of the building like a wall. Generally at a lot of businesses the door is closed more often than open.

Argument can be made both for and against.

I would skip your example too. Probably lean towards not accept.

Perfectly fine - the POI doesn’t have to be visible at all times (we allow objects in museums or theme parks with restricted hours after all), but the submitter should make an effort to show the art is commissioned by the business or otherwise permanent.
