	Street art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives.
		Street art can be a powerful platform for reaching the public, and frequent themes include adbusting, subvertising and other culture jamming, the abolishment of private property and reclaiming the streets.
		Street artists such as Banksy, Swoon, and Os Gemeos have earned international attention for their work and in turn migrated the showing of their works to the museum/gallery setting as well as the street.
