Yo, Dawg!

   This is like a DOPE! Gallery.

As you can see our gallery's name is like Urban Empire.

    It's located on the streets and like right in your backyard. On your grandmas mailbox

the stop sign at the corner and on porta-potties. It's like all over the Inland Empire. But mostly in San Bernadino

   Urban Empire is run by me, J-Bob, and my five homies.

The kind of art we show is like really contemporary and local. We show stuff that's cool. Like things pertaining to the environment created by urban sprawl. It's just like stuff anyone can relate with... and Awsomeness.

Our goal with this show is to present the too often ignored street artist. They are presented with an artistic point of veiw. Though they may be created illegaly or in a non-typical manner they can still be considered art. We looked for street artists that created art and didn't just tag to get their name out.. There had to be purpose to the work. Something had to be expressed. These works are created outside, available for the public to see. Open to all people. The art nerd and the street urchin alike. They may not last forever, they may last longer than we think, but they stand as markers of our culture at this present time. These works represent us, people.
