Art Farts: Beyond the Streets

BTSMAIN.jpg

I was hella excited to be able to catch the Beyond the Streets exhibition before it rolled out of town.  The show is not just a look at graffiti. It’s a celebration of graffiti’s history, evolution and birthing of various types of street art around the world. 

Past and current artists from all over the globe are featured in this massive exhibit.  The curators made use of every single inch of space they had in the large warehouse.  There was art on the walls, floor, ceiling.  There was even some art that was interactive, and Beyond the Streets didn’t disappoint in the Instagrammable photo department.

Enough of me writing, on to the art!
