Street-Art is a form of art, more specifically referring to art forms that are performed on streets. The act must be accepted by either specialists or mainstream folks. If not, it is seen as vandalism or disturbance.

Examples:


 * 1) tagging is considered by many as vandalism, graffiti-festivals and graffiti in agreed-upon public places are considered an accepted form of art, more specifically Street-Art.


 * 1) youngsters with loud music from portable radio's they carry along may be seen as disturbing, but if they do beat-boxing or street-dance with it, they may be more accepted, as street-artists.  And as society is obliged to foresee space where youngsters can do their thing, if these youngsters do their street-dance on space that is dedicated for youth, it is very likely to be completely accepted and seen to play an positive role and the younsters to be role models for other youngsters.

= Street-Art and the link with Youth Work and recuperating Youth =

Professional educators, youth workers and social workers recognize that quite a large portion of youngsters don't fit nor function well in the system that exists now in many Western Societies and which is often portrayed as the example system and annex youth education system for the rest of the world to follow or even copy. Youngsters that don't fit the system either commit suicide, develop criminal behaviour, start with self-mutilation, become alcoholics, drug addicts or are recuperated by the criminal circuit that is thus sustained, initiated, or reinforced. That is a pitty, especially as some of these youngsters are quite exceptional and are visionairies, which society could benefit from, or even more unbiased, society needs all the talent and visionairies to get out of stalemate situations.
