SBCC Exhibition
Outta Sight
Outta Sight is a group exhibition highlighting “street artists” who historically use the street, walls, and trains as their canvas, and are not typically exhibited in museum or gallery spaces. These artists are influential to our society and culture because they are a voice for their marginalized communities.
Outta Sight opens at South Broadway Cultural Center on Thursday, July 20 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.

Outta Sight is on view through August 26 and is free to the public.
