Miami's Museum of Graffiti has opened an outpost in Austin just in time for South by Southwest — but you only have until the end of the month to visit.
“It's really important for us to tell our story in a city that's dedicated to music and culture during South by Southwest,” Allison Freidin, the museum's co-founder, said.“The Art of Hip Hop” celebrates the 50-year anniversary of hip-hop by highlighting the work of graffiti artists, album cover artists, photographers and logo designers who have helped visualize the genre.
The pop-up offers daily graffiti classes and elements from the other four pillars, Freidin said, including MCing, breakdancing, knowledge and DJing. The lounge will feature music by local DJs Bubs Rubino and DJ Notion, live graffiti demonstrations and complimentary cocktails from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday. Friday’s event also includes a discussion with artist and designer Tristan Eaton, a Casetify design workshop, a signing with artist Dalek and a talk with rapper Raekwon and photographer Danny Hastings.
