It's art without the middleman. I have to say, galleries have their place. Stuff that's more fragile, or on stretchers, etc., etc. is a good fit with the gallery space (although some people are doing cool stuff with putting art on canvas up on the streets). But with street art, you can make your image and have it out there the same day, adding your voice to the visual conversation that is taking place in more and more cities.
