Art, Beats and Lyrics is an exhibition of multi-media art and design that explores the recent work of a diverse group of visual artists that have emerged from the subcultures in hip hop throughout the U.S. The core of the project involves painting, sculpture, and photography, as well as film, video, performance, and product design by more than thirty individuals who range from well known artists to up and coming local talent. AB+L started with an audience of over 400 people and grew to over 4,000 people for a one evening event at the High Museum. The demographic audience for AB+L is the “Urbanite”, between the ages of 21 to 34. AB+L can capture the urban audience by maintaining its roots in the street and promoting the underground experience. AB+L understands the sub-cultures within the underground network and can reach this market effectively and consistently. This platform also gives local urban artists a channel in which to expose their art to a wider audience.
