The talk will present a vast overview of how graffiti, skateboarding, hip-hop and punk rock cultures have emerged from the underground to be coveted by art collectors, art auctions, museums, and the mainstream. Jesse Cory is currently CEO of 1xRUN, a Detroit based publisher of fine art editions. He also co-founded the Inner State Gallery in Eastern Market as well as Murals in the Market, Detroit’s first international mural festival. This lecture is for adults 50+.
