I thought this article in Telegraph.co.uk about grafitti in Bristol is really interesting. Could we do something similar in our town \/ park? Street art has come to stay, so why don\u00b4t we find a solution as to separating art and vandalism? Will<\/p>\n
„Bristol City Council will put to the public vote whether murals which appear on buildings, walls and fences are street art or graffiti.<\/em><\/p>\n As part of a formal street art policy, the council’s street clean team will not take action if people decide the graffiti is nice and want to keep it.<\/em><\/p>\n The approach was prompted by a Banksy work which shows a naked man hanging out of a window while his lover’s partner looks for him.<\/em><\/p>\n When it first appeared on a council-owned building in the city’s Frogmore Lane in 2005 it sparked debate over whether it should be removed.<\/em><\/p>\n The council set up an online poll and said that 93% of people wanted to keep it.<\/em><\/p>\n Now they are extending the public vote to any other street art that appears across the city.<\/em><\/p>\n Although the council has pledged to remove offensive and unsightly graffiti, a street art policy will “seek to define and support the display of Public Art“.<\/em><\/p>\n The plan states that “where people tell us that murals or artworks make a positive contribution to the local environment and where the property owner has raised no objection“ the council will not remove the graffiti.<\/em><\/p>\n Councillor Gary Hopkins, cabinet member for Environment and Community Safety, said: “We have said informally that if it is street art that people like we will keep it but we want to formalise it now into a policy.<\/em><\/p>\n “People want us to keep up the war against the taggers so we have had to work out a way to differentiate between the taggers and the artists.<\/em><\/p>\n “Tagging is still removed but if it is art that people say they want to see they can take a photo and upload it on to our consultation website and we will ask people they think.“ „<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thought this article in Telegraph.co.uk about grafitti in Bristol is really interesting.
