The one-day showcase will have DJs, a cyper open mic, breakdancing from Bboy, live painting and photographs of graffiti in Denver and New York.
walked through all five boroughs of New York City, snapping photos of the street art and graffiti that coated subway tunnels and trains, alleys and warehouses. There was 5 Pointz in Queens, also known as the Phun Phactory; the now-leveled building once housed hundreds of artist studios, its exterior colored by artists who traveled there from around the globe to make their mark.
"I've had these pictures for twenty-plus years, and I've never showcased them, and I thought it would be a really cool idea to do so, so I brainstormed on how to bring it to fruition," De Palo explains."I knew Adam was documenting Colorado art for the last ten years the way I was documenting in New York for the time I was there."
"What I'm excited about is the bringing of the pillars together," Clark adds."I've been doing hip-hop events where they're primarily rapping and DJs, I've been to breakdancing events and graffiti jams — but nothing like this. We're bringing it all together for the culture." "Denver has a history of loving hip-hop; there's no doubt about that...but the outlet for hip-hop has lessened," Quarles acknowledges."Even when I first moved here in 2007, there was more exposure and more events and spaces for hip-hop-influenced art forms."
Like Clark's photos, De Palo's images follow the growth of street art; while Clark's reflect the past decade, De Palo's look back to the burgeoning scene in the ’90s."My photos are all Colorado, mostly Denver, that I've picked from photos I've taken since 2012, when I started doing it seriously," Clark explains."Most of my photos are action shots of people painting — local artists I know throughout the past ten years.
