Muhammad Ali Center

“‘LoCAL.streets’ is a collection of work centered on the urban environment,” explains curator Dan Pfalzgraf. “The rise in popularity of street (graffiti) art has sparked the interest in millions, reaching new heights in recent years. For every gallery artist taking it to the streets, there are infinitely more whose work is influenced by the streets they live and work around. Many of these artists within the gallery circuit are increasingly utilizing the same tools, materials and styles of their more legitimate street art counterparts … often further blurring the lines between what was once two separate worlds.”
Some of the artists in the exhibition are Julius Friedman, Chris Chappell and Stephanie Potter. There’s a free reception open to the public during the Feb. 4 First Friday Trolley Hop from 6-9 p.m. —Jo Anne Triplett
