Don’t…Spray It is an indoor mural and graffiti art show that celebrates community, togetherness and a passion for life in Los Angeles.

Don’t…Spray It, is about graffiti, street art made with spray paint, but not as you know it. The colors and brightness of the pieces resound and glow on the walls as if in a dance which celebrates this shared moment in time with a focus on the positive outlook we all crave. While street art is growing in popularity across the world, the works on display at Don’t…Spray It are uniquely powerful and haven’t been celebrated on our streets or galleries until now. Don’t expect to see expressions of outrage and disdain: instead, spray-painted works on walls, panels and canvas, with a message of peace, love and inclusion are on display here.
