Presented by 1:AM SF Gallery, Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle and Montana North America

1:AM SF gallery and Estria are committed to providing a positive outlet for people who want to enrich their lives creatively through street art. True to their dedication, they, along with Montana Colors North America, present “Don’t Sweat the Technique: Ode to the Spraycan”, an art gallery exhibition celebrating aerosol art.

For the past five months, Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle (EIGB) has been holding competitions across the nation searching for someone to reign supreme with their aerosol skills. The finals are here in the Bay Area. Before concluding this journey, Estria wanted to kick off the finals in style and invited the talented participants to showcase their impressive and innovative art at 1:AM gallery. They will be paying tribute to their choice of art tool, the spraycan. The killer line up includes:

California: Neon, Bounce, Chez, Vogue, Eon 75, Germz, Vyal, Refa, Natrl

Chicago: Rome, Tsel, Exhaust, Melon, Debl, Like

Whether you are a newbie or veteran to street art, this is the show to educate yourself in the art of the spraycan. The heavy hitters are here to add some color to your walls and flavor to your sketchbooks.

Opening reception is on September 11th from 7pm – 10pm. DJ Don Kainoa, Spinnerty, and Bozak will be dropping the beats. This is a 21+ event. Exhibition will run through October 9th.

And don’t forget to mark your calendars for the EIGB finals, as part of the Living Word Festival, on October 10th in Oakland!
