If a Canadian beaver trapper put his graffitti-covered canoe up for display, it's just a graffitti-covered canoe.

If an artist in Montreal, or NYC puts up a graffitti-covered canoe up in a gallery, it's called art. If a fancy pants art critic agrees, it is then called brilliant art and it is then worth thousands.

A large part of being a "real" artist (more than the talent and craft) is public relations and good timing.
