Every two years there is a temporary art exhibition in Amsterdam, featuring many sculptures in public places (https://artzuid.nl/biennale/
At first I did not notice that these sculptures were temporary, so I also approved a few of them, but once it was clear to me that these are temporary, I marked these as non-permanent. However it appears that all of these have been approved. There are now many temporary wayspots (especially at the Apollolaan in Amsterdam). I even reported one of these, but the report was rejected.
What to do?
I am assuming all art being displayed change every two year?
You can appeal the rejection with additional context. Moreover, you can reach out to the team through the removals webform and they would assist you.
I have had a similar experiance recently.
In the UK different cities will create large models of a certain animal (Sheffield had Elephants, Bristal had Gorillas etc), they are then painted by local artist. These are positioned around the city as a Art Trail. At a set date (around 6 weeks) they are removed and auctioned for charity.
Currently Hull have “Rats” https://amischiefofrats.co.uk/ which I have been rejecting as Temporary. I noticed that 1 had got through and Niantic replied rejecting its removal stating that I would need to visit the location (I am not local) and show proof that it had been removed even though I had included the official website that stated this is what will happen…
The art is there just for one summer, and then removed. In two years time there will be a new event
So, it sounds like the art rotates out every 2 years. If this is the case, I would say that there could be 1 Wayspot for this exhibit that is permanent, while the art pieces that are there just for 2 years not have Wayspots. Since the removal requests were rejected, I would appeal them in Wayspot Appeals and provide additional info, such as current photos and the link provided. This will show that the art is temporary; the exhibit area though sounds permanent, so to me it could have a Wayspot.
I think this is key. There is no identifiable permanent location, which @DTrain2002 alluded to. There are simply temporary exhibits across a wide area. The website shows two roads forming a T-shape, with the exhibits being spread across the T.
You /might/ be able to focus on the centre of the T, but if this is a public space with anything interesting about it, it’s probably already a wayspot.

I don’t think there should be a waystop, as it is just a public area, nothing special except during the exhibition
