street art

Although originally hailing from NY, Gaia has put Baltimore on the map in the world of street art since coming here to study at MICA. I strongly recommend checking out his work.
Recently Gaia used his considerable skill for a good cause creating a limited edition of print to help benefit the Baltimore’s Poe House & Museum.

You can see more of Gaia's work at unurth along with a seemingly endless list of other street artists.

Since 1996, The Deitch Project in Soho, has remained on the top of street art taste makers and it is well worth seeing the work in their gallery over the years. There are a lot of strong opinions concerning what the role of street art should be and for all the fame and money some artists have enjoyed there are many who decry the commercialization of the form.
