HISTORY

IN 2012, THE ALL-CITY ART EVENT WAS CONCEIVED BY A SMALL GROUP OF ARTISTS IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, WHOSE MAIN GOAL WAS TO HIGHLIGHT THE REGION’S ARTISTS, PAINT MURALS, HOLD ART SHOWS, AND COLLECTIVELY ENGAGE IN GRAFFITI CULTURE. SINCE THE ART EVENTS FIRST YEAR, HUNDREDS OF ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE TRAVELED TO LOUISVILLE TO JOIN IN A WEEKEND OF PAINTING, MUSIC, AND NETWORKING.

IN 2015, WE LOST A DEAR FRIEND, JON ‘2BUCK’ BROWN. 2BUCK ENRICHED EVERY LIFE HE TOUCHED AND INSPIRES US TO BE THE BEST WE CAN BE.

TO HONOR HIS LEGACY, WE RENAMED OUR EVENT THE ‘2BUCK INVITATIONAL’.

WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND EVERY YEAR, FINDING NEW LOCATIONS TO HOST EVENTS, AND PAINTING FREE MURALS FOR OUR CITY TO ENJOY. WE SEEK TO NOT ONLY PROMOTE THE DEEP HISTORY OF THIS SUBCULTURE, BUT ALSO FRESH POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE OF THE GRAFFITI WORLD AND THE ART COMMUNITY IN LOUISVILLE.
