Stand Tall group show tonight at Old Crow

Stand Tall group show tonight at Old Crow

For the group show Stand Tall, show curator Barrett Moore gave the 20 participating artists a set of simple but rigid rules: keep your aerosol based and keep it inside your 3ft x 9ft section of wall space. Other than that, get wild.

And that's just what we're expecting at tonight's opening at Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery, which has hosted a succession of impressive street, outsider and aerosol art over the last year featuring a wide range of well known area talent.

Show organizers say they hope to create an "all inclusive visually dynamic" event. And the lineup promises a wide array of talent and approaches from around the country with Oakland artists, including Desi, Safety 1st and Deadeyes and Ras Terms.

Oakland rockers The Chastities perform at 10 with giveways from Four G's graffiti magazine. The complete lineup includes: AKO and Jeff MeadowsDevon BloodDesiDmiseEnksIan RossIndigoJae54Joker and PoesiaKemaLord SatyrMax EhrmanNatrlSafety 1st and DeadeyesSalemSiloetteSmearRas TermsVyalZore
