In 2012, a small group of artists in Louisville, Kentucky, came together with a shared vision: to celebrate the region’s talent, paint murals, host art shows, and collectively uplift graffiti culture. From that vision, the All-City Art Event was born.

What started as a grassroots gathering quickly grew. Since its first year, hundreds of artists from across the country have traveled to Louisville for a weekend of painting, music, and meaningful connection.

In 2015, We lost a dear friend, Jon “2BUCK” Brown. He left a lasting impression on everyone he met. To honor his legacy and continue the work he loved, we renamed our event the 2BUCK Invitational

We continue to expand every year, finding new locations to host artist as well as events and painting murals for our city to enjoy. We seek to not only promote the deep history of the subculture, but also fresh possibilities for the future of the graffiti world and the art community in Louisville.
