Gallery 151 buzzed last night with Village Green’s presentation of “Green Style,” a new art exhibit from the Urban Green Initiative. The show celebrated graffiti art as a cultural phenomenon that has changed the city’s streets and subways, and moving the style into galleries and art lovers’ homes. Displays from artists LA2, SHARP, and ERO covered the walls, while DJ Tony Crush of the Cold Crush Brothers brought music for the crowd.
While celebrating this contemporary art form, Green Style encouraged conversations about environmental awareness. The graffiti artists used only low or no VOC spray paints when creating their pieces, bringing environmental responsibility to the forefront. Next to the gallery, a model of a Village Green apartment was available for guests to roam through, showing the benefits of a green-friendly home.
Retail Specialist Elliott Dweck and I attended the Green Style party, enjoying the art exhibit, the musical entertainment, and a selection of wine and cheeses. The Urban Green Initiative holds an ongoing series of art exhibitions, music concerts, and dance performances to raise awareness and stimulate discussion.
