Guidelines/ fact sheet regarding legal implications of
‘Street Art’/graffiti and strict rules regulated by the ACT government.
·
Purpose and audience
The purpose of the information fact sheet published by the
ACT government is to guide the public in general and street artists to the
rules and regulations regarding their art and where they are allowed and
intended to design their work. It is to establish the legal and illegal manners
in regards to street art and how to effectively manage the street art
phenomenon whilst protecting the general public so that degradation to areas
and homes is not inflicted.
The audience is that of the general public but is more
importantly targeted towards the people involved in street art. The fact sheet
is filled with sub headings which is explaining to street artists how to
appropriately display their art and the areas in which they are allowed to do
so in case of discrepancies with the general public or in the matter of the street
art being illegally done.
In accordance with the last paragraph the audience being
focused towards the artists goes further as to describing what art is
permissible as work deemed “Racist, sexist, otherwise prejudice” is strictly
prohibited as stated by the ACT government.
The government is basing this fact sheet on artists so that
they know what areas are free from “Police, City Rangers and Graffiti cleaning
contractors” so that art isn’t removed or reported if it is socially tasteful
and is in an allowable area. In saying this is also informs the authorities as
to where art is allowable at when and how to persecute those involved when the
guidelines aren’t followed.
