Las Vegas offers no forgiveness for graffiti.  Annually, the city allocates more than $30 million in private and public funds to clean up graffiti.  Under the Las Vegas strip lays a labyrinth of civic infrastructure and one of the few Las Vegas locations where graffiti is left undisturbed.  These storm drains offer rebellious sanctuary to some of the most beautiful and unexpected urban art forms.  Dating back to the 1980’s, these underground galleries sustain an evolving canvas and last resort for many graffiti artists.
