Ephemeral Art

«Art that is made to last for hours, days, or weeks is called ephemeral art. While most art is created with the idea of permanence, or to last a long time, some contemporary artists often create ephemeral art.

Artists who live in cities create ephemeral art through graffiti, and street art, and paint on walls and buildings.

Whatever form it takes, ephemeral art asks that we appreciate the art work now in the present moment, for it may not be there tomorrow.»
