Natalia Rak
Natalia Rak is a Polish artist known for her extremely vibrant large-scale murals. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, Poland, with the Diploma of Spatial and Poster Design.

Marka27
Born in Juarez, Mexico, and raised in Dallas, Texas, Marka27’s foray into the art world began in the city’s streets, mastering the art of graffiti. Advancing to earn his BFA from The Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, Marka27 became a household name. His artwork is exhibited in high-end galleries throughout the east and west coast. He has collaborated with brands such as Levis, Pioneer, Scion, Converse, Heineken, VH1, Disney, New Balance, and Kidrobot. His artwork is largely inspired by multi-cultural influences.

Lady Pink
Born in Ecuador but raised in NYC, Lady Pink was well known as the only female capable of competing with the boys in the graffiti subculture in the 80’s. In 1982, she starred in the motion picture “”Wild Style.”” Her contributions to graffiti have made her a cult figure in the hip-hop subculture.

Icy & Sot
ICY (born 1985) and SOT (born 1991) are stencil artists from Tabriz, Iran, currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. Since 2006, the two brothers have contributed to Iranian and international urban art culture through their striking stencil work that depicts human rights, ecological justice, and social and political issues. Their work appears on walls and galleries throughout Iran, USA, Germany, China, Norway, and globally. They transcend their histories of artistic and political censorship by using public art to envision a world freed from borders, war, and gun violence.

Chris RWK
Chris RWK was born and raised in New York. The imagery of comics and cartoons sparked his interest at an early age. Graffiti opened his view of the art world, and fine art kept him engaged. Chris’ paintings frequently cite past conceptions of popular culture embedded in his psyche’s cache. This use of intertextuality also offers a comfort or familiarity of sorts to the viewer. Chris’ works frequently reveal daily musings and people one would pass on the street without looking or thinking about twice.
