It depends on how you define art, and what graffiti you're talking about. Certainly there is graffiti out there that is amazingly done, beautiful, and completely worthy of the idea of "art." But there is also graffiti out there that is nothing more than a simple tag which, depending on the person viewing it, doesn't really come across as art.
