graffiti wall

Spray-painted urban canvas

A graffiti wall is a surface—typically outdoors and publicly visible—where graffiti is permitted or encouraged.

Cities and property owners designate graffiti walls as legal outlets for street artists, concentrating spray paint and murals in approved spaces rather than on private buildings or infrastructure: The old warehouse became a rotating graffiti wall for local artists.
