The GAPSign in

There's a moment between the time the cap is put back on the can and a piece gets buffed or covered.

We call that the GAP.

Street art can be very temporary — it gives walls life, but the art can die fast. If you're not actively spotting, you could miss it.

We're a community of street art appreciators. It's free to join and start capturing.

How it works

  1. See something. Piece, tag, throw, mural, sticker, paste-up — if it's on the wall, it counts.
  2. Spot it. Open The GAP, snap a photo. Your phone handles the location.
  3. Stack the layers. First photo of a wall starts the thread. Every photo after adds a layer.
  4. Watch it evolve. Come back weeks later and see what changed.

The GAP doesn't promote or encourage unlawful art. We're rooting for permission-based work — but the world isn't a perfect place. We hope it can be made a bit cooler.
