Participants include New York graffiti legends, Futura, Stash, Crash and Daze, world famous fashion photographer, Fatsarazzi, renowned toy designer, Klim Kozinevich, Scrawl Collective members, OTWO, and Steff Plaetz, tattoo artists, Charlie Shazer and BJ Betts, trainer designers, JB and Mdot from JB Classics Lab®, pop artist, Dave White, and recent Tate Britain exhibitor, SHE ONE.

Not only is this exhibition amazing due to the individuals taking part, it is also one of the rare times where the street culture community will be represented so well, with artists ranging across media, backgrounds, generations and styles, all coming together in a fest of quality, skill and energy.

As if you didn’t want to make it to Glasgow enough, the first 3 people to arrive will receive a VESTAL watch and the first 20 people will receive a limited edition t-shirt that has the signature of every participating artist on the back.
