Gallery1988 will host the first Rap Signs show from NY artist Jay Shells. Jay's street art has been featured here on L.A. TACO, The Huffington Post, Complex, Vice, in the LA Times, by the Associated Press and hundred of other artists, confirming the appeal of location-specific installations at the intersection of hip-hop and street art cultures.

Jay Shells' Rap Quotes: LA Edition from ANIMALNewYork.com on Vimeo.

For the first time ever, Jay Shells will take his Rap Signs to an art gallery, making them available for purchase along with photos of the signs in their original surroundings. Presented by Gallery1988 and our friends at LRG, Jay will be displaying 100 rap signs, both new and old-- one wall for East Coast, and the other for the West Coast.

Rapper Murs will be hosting our opening reception at G1988 (East) on Friday night from 7-10 PM, along with a DJ playing featured songs from the quotes. The show will run through May 17th.

Street Vendors Successfully Sue City to Remove Illegal ‘No Vending’ Signs And Won

L.A. will also have to reimburse the street vendors for their past fines relating to this controversial sign. However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
