@kbgraffiti This group has the support of the local mayor. I suggest if you want to do something like it, get a note from the office of Cultural Affairs to have on hand should a police officer misunderstand.
@Bureyeanne Good idea.. I should do that... what is it you said or did to get a "note" for your art? Any other advice you can give to get graffiti going on for the good rather then the bad...
@kbgraffiti Alright, first of all you need to understand the difference from street art and graffiti. Although the lines are often blurry, or don't exist there is a difference. Urban "street" artists use the world as their canvas just as the world is a stage. Graffiti artists are not so respectful to the arts. Their goal is just to be seen and maybe make a message. Now most cities over about 30 thousand have an arts council, or cultural events office. Often they plan outdoor events.
@Bureyeanne For example I did a project copying the work of Mark Jenkins doing tape sculptures on parking meters. I asked the office of parking for a permission. It turns out that they were in the process of looking to hire an artist to do something with the parking meters. Mostly you just need to prove to a police officer or security guy that you have the full knowledge of the city to be there. That being noted I don't always get permission either.
@Bureyeanne according to my home state graffiti requires the leaving of a mark such as paint, sticker etc. My work is such that no marks ergo no damage is done. at most the only claim would be that a worker would have to do an extra five min. of work taking down the art.
@Bureyeanne Your right, there are a lot of "taggers" out there making it hard for us "writers" to shine.. I dont know if your familiar with the terms as they are used on the streets... but taggers are the ones with no fundamentals, no artist concept... rather they just try to get their name/tag out there as much as possible. Not to go to deep but... all of us start out as "toys" and learn our way as we continue to create and make new art. Its hard to separate myself from the label of tagger..
Really that's sad. We got a nomination for an national award by our city. You might go to your cities "Cultural Events" office and get a signed letter. I've found that effective in the past.
Hmmm and we get arrested for our art?...

@custom91911 So a can of Montana paint is more legit than yarn? That would be like saying a knife is more legit than a gun.
