Jeff,

Its sounds like there is a difference between "art" and "advertisement." Just my two cents.

I know this question is a tough one but here in Charleston we are facing a lot of issues with new mural commissions.  Private business owners are commissioning artists to paint murals on their buildings.  Some of the design concepts have included commercial message.  Our sign ordinance as it stands does not allow murals to include commercial message and when they do they must conform to size requirements applied to a sign.

 

I am curious how other city governments handle this issue and what your experience has been.

 

Thanks

Jeff
