Graffiti Beach

Graffiti Beach Pop-up Defined:

Temporary stores and festivals that ‘Pop Up’ one day and then disappear within the next couple of days.  Graffiti Beach chooses the most cutting edge emerging brands to set up booths at a great venue, typically an art gallery, college campus or vacant retail space. The vendors sell their product at wholesale prices directly to the public.  These events include free concerts from up-and-coming bands, runway fashion shows and distribute free food.

Graffiti Beach’s Mission:

The mission of Graffiti Beach is to create a place for those that are passionate about art, fashion and music to gather and feel inspired. It supports up-and-coming designers and artists in making a living and gives them an outlet to share their masterpieces with the world.
