Some Things to Do Around NYC
While most countries consider graffiti as a form of vandalism and illegal, there are countries that have embraced the street art and legalized it. From countries like Brazil, Australia, Denmark, and even the States, street art is legal in certain cities which allows artists to showcase their work for people to see. Besides, graffiti is also beautiful if you get a chance to see one.
New York has some great street art that you can check out. The Queens neighborhood found in the Long Island City is almost fully covered by graffiti. However, artists usually have first to be reviewed and then seek permission to do their street art. Based on the durability and quality of work, murals usually get allocated some amount of space as well as exhibition time.
