This is an article from an online news platform NPR, written by Paige Pfleger in 2015.

There 2 main stories told in the article. There is a story about a muralist winning a lawsuit against the government because his 9-year of work mural is covered up without any notice. The second story is about compromising murals with graffiti which then lead to big changes for the city, making the area famous for it street art.

The murals mentioned in the article are mostly located in the United States. However, the main topic is really relevant to the theme of this blog: Murals, arts and how to embrace it. Reading the article will somehow answer the question: Whether we should consider murals “fine art”.

The article does a good job of depicting different issues with murals and their legality. In my opinion, murals should be considered 100% legal and muralist should be respected for their hard work because muralist is also an artist.
