Styles Are Wild – Chicago Graffiti Workshop - With Saw Crew

Hosted by Dulce Maria Diaz at S.H.E. Gallery, this one-of-a-kind graffiti workshop brings you face-to-face with pioneers of Chicago’s 90s graffiti movement. Legendary artists Emte and Curve will guide you through the history of graffiti, the roots of wildstyle, and the techniques that define this iconic art form.

You’ll not only learn but also create: each participant will develop their own graffiti “tag” and small-scale wildstyle piece under direct guidance. The evening wraps up with a live mural demo and Q&A with the artists.
