Yesterday afternoon, A friend and I took the day to visit the “Art in the streets” final day over at MOCA. We been meaning to go for a couple weeks now but got super caught up. Being its last day of course we were expecting a huge amount of people. Oh little did we know…. Not only was it in its last day but it was also free, Courtesy of Bansky himself. So all hell broke loose! haha.
“I don’t think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.” – Bansky
I’ve heard so many good things about this place. When our customers come into Illest Boutique and kept talking about how good it was and how I should go. Obviously I had to see it for myself. Overall the museum was very dope. The exhibits were amazing and enjoyed it much. I myself never really been to Art events/showcases so it was definitely a great experience.
I still do wish I got to go on a earlier day. Just so I could avoid the swarm of people and enjoy each room a bit more. But Nevertheless still dope.
Anyways enjoy guys!

- We showed up around 1:30 and found a very VERY long line into MOCA. Despite the long line we only waited about 20 mins. Later on you’ll see we got lucky.

- Heres a oldschool LA MTA bus. I thought to myself. I wonder if I’ve ever rode on this back in the day :P
-
- I myself found this pretty amusing… ha
-
- As I look at each photo and description. I find it krazy how these photos are locations I see & drive by on the Daily.
-
- Vince did a small coverage of Art in the streets on the Illest Blog about a month back. He explained to me there was probably 1 or 2 people if any in each room. We found about 15-30 in each room. It was krazy hectic
-
- There were small rooms closed off to the public. Im sure to keep the rooms ascetics. Many very Interesting.
-
- I cant begin to comprehend what the artists were thinking when creating there show pieces
-
- Robotic Mannequins
-
- This room was pretty interesting. The detail inside this “liquor store was amazing” but there was so many stickers outside this room i could barley even take a photo.
-
- This was probably one of my favorites from the whole show. I walked by this random tree and saw a hand with a can sticking out of it :P Awesomeness for sure.
-
- My partner for the day. Geralynn enjoying the surrounding artwork.
-
- This was another favorite.
-
- Banksy’s Corner exhibit. We had to walk by this one cause it was SUPER crowded.
