Flash Tag

March 26 – August 2, 2015

FLASH TAG is a creative engagement project that invited "graffiti" artists — more specifically four crews comprised of well-known and highly respected street artists — to transform and populate the walls of an empty gallery. Known for their past participation in programs and exhibitions at The Getty, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, and various Los Angeles area schools, the artists were given the challenge of rendering their designs with brushes rather than aerosol paints. From March 26 to 29, 2015, visitors could view the artists in action and watch the creative process unfold. In addition, CAAM and the artists used social media to promote the exhibition and the finished artworks.
