Art in the Streets, is the first major U.S. museum exhibition of the history of graffiti and street art.

The exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved.

Art in the Streets showcased installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists from the graffiti and street art community, including Fab 5 Freddy (New York), Lee Quiñones (New York), Futura (New York), Margaret Kilgallen (San Francisco), Swoon (New York), Shepard Fairey (Los Angeles), Os Gemeos (São Paulo), and JR (Paris). MOCA’s exhibition also emphasized Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture.

The exhibition featured projects by influential local artists such as Craig R. Stecyk III, Chaz Bojórquez, Mister Cartoon, RETNA, SABER, REVOK, and RISK.

The exhibition also included a skate ramp designed by pro-skater Lance Mountain and artist Geoff McFetridge.

Following MOCA’s presentation, the exhibition will travel to the Brooklyn Museum, where it will be on view March 30–July 8, 2012.

It's actually been going on for a while now in the Geffen MOCA in Downtown LA (Little Tokyo area) and it's a must visit.
I still don't agree on paying the admissions fee. Haha.

The only worth going to was the pre-opening and VIP day because most artists were there.
As of this past days, only a couple of artists shows up in there and of course Nike SB team is in there skating Geoff McFetridge pieces.
