Last Thursday we opened the "NYC meets MTL" show at the gallery, over 200 people showed up, and we couldn't be happier with the result. You can check out more photos from the opening night on our Facebook page! This show also marked the launch of the Street Museum of Art newest outdoor street art show... the Montreal edition! SMoA is an outdoor public art project that borrows the guerrilla marketing tactics of the street artist to put on a curated exhibition of street art. For a limited time you can pick up your map at the gallery and enjoy a walking tour of the entire show, which takes place in the Mile End & Plateau area around the gallery, best part is the admission is always free (SMoA has curated four shows to date; two NYC shows, one in London and now one in Montreal)!

The SMoA "Dans la rue" show, is actually what sparked the idea to put together our "NYC meets MTL" show. The show features works by some of New Yorks best current street artists, and also features COST, a name that needs no introduction. On the Montreal side, we are also featuring a name that brought a lot of attention to the Montreal street art scene, but as been absent since his public arrest, ROADSWORTH. The Show will be on until November 4th, be sure to drop in and check it out if you can... we'll be updating the website with a few extra goodies from the show, such as the COST signed newsprint which is now available!
