12oz. OG's Live Art Exhibition & Market
Saint Arnold Brewing Company presents "12oz. OGs," a live painting exhibition featuring Houston graffiti art veterans GONZO247, Colors, Article, and Skeez181 at this live graffiti show at Saint Arnold Brewing Company. They spent their early years getting doors slammed in their faces, getting called gang members, doing work for free, still getting devalued, and brushed aside at times. Now, they're awarded with presence, love, and appreciation, because the scene has changed. Look for a cool art market during the five-hour event. 11 a.m.
