Let's promote graffiti art for the community's enjoyment!

What is the difference between ill-placed and destructive graffiti and planned and admired art? This photo is a fine example of public art that is being enjoyed, while not defacing public or private property.

Believe it, or not, I'm riding on a sidewalk chalk drawing by well-known chalk artist Julian Beever. He created this massive drawing on the concrete pavement inside of the city of Charleston's (WV) new minor league baseball park. I could feel the spray of the "water" in my face (notice the alligator waiting for me at the bottom).

I would like to see the development of a central location and "canvas" that will allow graffiti artist's to show off their talent. We could have sponsored contests and the artists could express themselves in a open and prideful way. What do you think?
