LEGENDARY BELMONT TUNNEL EXHIBITION

THE LEGENDARY BELMONT TUNNEL
"A Tribute to the Birthplace of Los Angeles Graffiti Art"
Curated by Carlos Marquez

With the influx of Hip Hop culture from the East Coast in the early 1980's, the graffiti movement began to take shape in Los Angeles. Young graffiti artists began searching for their own voice and spaces to create. One space that became crucial to that development was the Belmont Tunnel. Due to its central location in Downtown LA and open layout surrounded with massive walls, it quickly became the city's most popular urban canvas. Over the next 20+ years, Belmont became a meeting place for hundreds of developing graffiti artists to hone their craft, settle their differences through graff battles, and pass on codes of ethics to the next generation. Although the tunnel no longer exists and has now been turned into The Belmont Station apartments, the impact it had on the development of Los Angeles graffiti art will not be forgotten..

The exhibition features photographs, paintings, prints and giclees by the following exhibiting Legendary LA Artists:

Acme, Aloy, Antonio Pelayo, Axis, BaBa, Besk, Bumper, Cab, Cale, Charlie, Cre8, Dash, Danny D, Defer, Duster, Earnone, Elser, Eriberto Oriol, Fearo, Fever, Frame, Frank Martinez, Gabe, Genius, Ghostone, Gilone, Graf One, Grande, Hex, Hyde, Jero, Jiro, Kopy, Make, Mandoe, Man One, Mosh, Nuke, OG Abel, Omega, Pale, Panic, Relax, Relic, Retna, Rickone, Risky, Ruets, Saber, Sacred194, Shandu, Siner, Size, Skept, Skyone, Sleez, Swan, Teler, Volt, Vox, Vyal, Wisk, Zender...and others

CANceptual [v.3]
"Recycle your spray cans...make some art...save the Earth"

Exhibit Dates: May 2nd thru May 31st
Opening Reception: May 2nd from 6pm to 9pm







Crewest saves the Earth one spray can at a time. For the past 7 years, Crewest has been at the forefront of recognizing graffiti art as a unique and valid art form with aerosol cans as one of it’s primary mediums. In support of the many artists who have chosen to use their talents for something positive, Crewest celebrates their 7th Year Anniversary and brings you the third installment of CANceptual. An art exhibition giving young artists an opportunity to showcase their work alongside known artists. Crewest encourages artists to find those old rusted cans and recycle them by turning them into fine art pieces for sale at the gallery.
As gallery director Man One puts it, “Where the weapon of choice becomes the instrument of beauty”
