Graffiti Art

Celebrity artists like Banksy are commercializing graffiti

Implications - In the past, graffiti has typically been associated with public vandalism and disrespect. Today, graffitists are recognized for artistic talent, some even being commissioned to design art for public spaces, selling their personal books or being hired by advertising agencies.
Trend Themes
1. Commercialization of Graffiti - Graffiti is no longer seen solely as vandalism but as an art form, leading to graffiti-inspired products and commissioned artwork for public spaces.
2. Eco-friendly Graffiti - GreenGraffiti(TM) is an innovative and sustainable way of advertising using a high-pressure water sprayer to create art.
3. Collaborative Graffiti - Graffiti creates a sense of community and promotes social consciousness when numerous artists collaborate on a shared project, as seen in the government-funded project in Norway.
Industry Implications
1. Advertising and Marketing - The commercialization of graffiti and innovative eco-friendly advertising techniques offer unique ways to promote products and services.
2. Hospitality and Tourism - Graffiti art can be used to revitalize public spaces, such as hotels and abandoned buildings, and provide a unique and unforgettable experience for tourists and visitors.
3. Youth Services and Non-profit Organizations - Graffiti art can be used as a tool for social awareness and youth outreach programs, as seen in the Canadian youth services centers' ads and the government-funded graffiti project in Norway.
