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.
I’m experiencing wave of proposals of such things, so I looked up and found this thread. I would like to add a nuance: I usually reject those murales when the primary objective is clearly to show the shop name, or timetable, AND it would be considered a generic business
If the nomination is for a piece of art that is commissioned by the business, and it’s not a nomination for the business itself, then you should review it as a piece of art, not a business.
If a nomination is for the actual business, then it potentially still could be eligible depending on what the business is and whether it meets any eligibility criteria (such as a cafe being a great place to socialise). You’ll need to use your best judgement with the information provided to you by the reviewer and what the criteria says.
