MONTANA-CANS LOOKBOOK 2017

POW! WOW! DC, led by local artist Kelly Towels, got busy the
end of May. Artists flew in from as far as Hong Kong (Caratoes).
Other international artists included Jef Gress, INSA and the
Yok, but also some local artists such as No Kings Collective,
Decoy and Matt Corrado spread some urban love. The majority
of the murals created during these few days were on walls in
the NoMA neighborhood, in the interests of the partnership
between POW! WOW! DC and the NoMA Business Improvement
District. The second round for POW! WOW! Long Beach started
in mid-July and turned out to be a smashing success as the
week progressed. Life-size murals, art installations, a week of
exhibitions, screenings, and talks were the fruits of the labors
of over 30 artists who traveled from near and far. The line-up
included Martha Cooper, Bumblebee, KASHINK, Aaron De La
Cruz, Lisboan Pantonio and so many more.
