Question 1

Isn't street art illegal?

Accepted Answer

The process of making and placing art in a public place is not neccessary illegal. Public spaces are over run with advertisments that the public has no control over. Street art aims to take back some control of our public spaces and to contribute something of value to the people that encounter it, asking absolutely nothing in return. Project Sheela aims to be as respectful to public and private property as possible, while communicating what we feel are very important messages.
