When we think of the word graffiti, it can conjure up thoughts of vandalism in the dark of night. However, as time passes, more and more artists have been taking this often-illegal activity onto legal walls and murals in the form of public art, and it’s taking the art world by storm. Whether it’s on a bag by Chanel or a Banksy selling for millions, graffiti has proved that it can rise above its old school gritty reputation and creep into our hearts.

One of the first examples of graffiti moving from the streets to the art stage happened in 1980 in New York City. Artists John Ahearn and Tom Otterness curated the “Times Square Show” in an abandoned massage parlor, to immense success. A little over a year later, it became the first FUN Gallery, a formal space to honor and showcase graffiti art and downtown culture. For the first time, graffiti was seen as an art, not a crime.
