My local Town Council has 4 designated "legal graffiti walls" located on Council owned land, typically sporting fields. The Council website states that these walls are designated spaces for creative outlet and experimentation by street artists. They were first trialed in 1997/8 and in 2010, the Warringah Graffiti Management Plan was adopted by Council, incorporating these legal graffiti walls.

See https://help.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/...fiti-Walls

Do these also qualify ?

For the record, there are 32 legal graffiti walls in Oz, and over 80 in the USA.

DownUnder, That's very cool. The pic from Ruins Hall that I posted is a similar situation. Old factory that burned out years back but the concrete parts of the structure remained. Eyesore for the small town and a potential safety hazard they tore out all of the burnt stuff and retained the concrete forms and lower walls. Property was purchased by a neighboring tavern and made available for use for street art. Artists must meet the tavern owners and are given an area to paint. Nothing obscene, racist, or not family friendly. The site is used for photo shoots and a Arts & Brewsfest every year in June.

While this would appear t be graffiti or street art, it's a location about an hour from me called Ruins Hall https://www.ruinshall.com/

Privately owned but they allow tagging and street art with approval. Constantly changing the the piece shown has already been painted over.

That specific picture, no = no GT flag.

That location = yes, but only once. If the art changes that doesn't change that it's the same location.

That photo was from last Spring and the artwork has already changed. Same wall 2 weeks ago.
