Some of the most interesting and emotionally affecting art is happening
on the sides of buildings. I much prefer this to dirty grey walls.

"Street art <http://designbump.com/100-creative-examples-of-street-art/>
is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork
executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term
gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and
continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti,
wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or
sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn
bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st
century.

"The terms “urban art”, “guerrilla art”, “post-graffiti” and
“neo-graffiti” are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created
in these contexts. Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is
often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure
vandalism."
