Schack Art Center's newest exhibit will allow the community a rare public viewing of over 80 spectacular graffiti originals held in a private collection. These works come from artists from all over the country, including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Boston, Seattle, and Phoenix. This exhibit gives art patrons a rare and up-close look at this genre of work. Never before has an exhibit of street art of this magnitude been held in the Pacific Northwest.

This exhibit gives art patrons a rare and up-close look at this genre of work. Never before has an exhibit of street art of this magnitude been held in the Pacific Northwest.
