Episode 16 : Today I chat with Nicole Royse, curator at the monOrchid Shade Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona. We talk all about The Real Nitty Gritty exhibition, which ended on March 27, 2016.

The Real Nitty Gritty exhibit originated in 1997. Artist, Pablo Luna was at the helm. He put together a group of talented graffiti artists from around the country. It was such a hit, they have been doing it ever since.

The Real Nitty Gritty exhibit featured  El Mac, Mando Rascon, Pablo Luna, Lalo Cota, and Thomas Breeze Marcus and others.
