Topics connected with the development of artistic practices and art functioning in urban realm are discussed both in scientific and public areas. The results of these investigations can be found in published scientific and popular papers, scientific information notes and blog posts; they are also discussed in social networks and online forums. One of the most pressing issues is related to establishing and operating a variety of visual objects created in graffiti and street arts and crafts. The analysis of publications shows that in everyday language and Russian mass-media language consider that all non-classical images created on the surfaces of walls are called "graffiti". At the same time, in scientific discourse it is necessary to distinguish the concepts of "graffiti" and the concept of «street art», which includes the images that differ from "classic graffiti" due to some characteristics. This paper shows how scientists differentiate the concept of "graffiti" and the concept of «street art" and what key themes of these cultural phenomena are the most relevant in contemporary scientific discourse.
