JetSet Graffiti is the first website that is dedicated to documenting street art from around the world, following the process of the LA Freewalls Projects. JetSet Graffiti’s goal is to “create a positive and constructive forum for the world to come together in appreciation of the greatest form of art: Public Expression.”
Graffiti is no longer only seen as something that is bad or gang-related, and is now viewed as a respected form of art when done without the intent of vandalizing private property. Sites like JetSet Graffiti give people the chance to see works from great artists who live in different places all around the world. The featured murals are part of the LA Freewalls Projects and can be seen all around Los Angeles, United States.
