Experience graffiti as more than just art—it’s voice, identity, and resistance. The Art of the SPRAY brings you face-to-face with legendary Bronx-born artist BG183, a founding member of the iconic Tats Cru. From subway cars in the South Bronx to galleries and walls around the globe, BG183 has helped define what graffiti means to Hip Hop culture and public art.
In this rare, immersive conversation moderated by Dregs One, pioneer BG183 and local spray artists discuss their journey, technique and the cultural legacy of graffiti—bridging the gap between the Bronx and the Bay. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned muralist, you’ll gain insight into style, storytelling, and how to make your mark with meaning.
What You’ll Learn:
- Fundamentals of graffiti lettering and spray techniques
- History of graffiti as a pillar of Hip Hop culture
- Personal stories and philosophy from a living legend
- A Presentation of Work and Interactive Sketch Session
This is more than paint—it’s a movement. Come create with one of the masters.
