This weekend, MoCA opens its Art in the Streets exhibition, a retrospective of street art curated by Jeffrey Deitch and Aaron Rose that will feature work from Neckface, Kenny Scharf, KR, Chaz Bojorquez, and other greats from the history of taking city walls. Levi’s is a supporting sponsor of Art in the Streets, and will be hosting a Levi's Film Workshop inside the museum, a buildout similar to the one that just finished up in NYC. It officially opens on April 17th and should be pretty dope.

Throughout the duration of Art in the Streets Levi's will be releasing 10 versions of its iconic “Trucker Jacket” denim jackets. The project is curated by Shepard Fairey's Studio Number One, and each jacket in the series features original artwork by Art in the Streets exhibitors. The jackets will sell for $250 at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (at 152 North Central Ave) and will release in chronological order from when each artist started writing. Each jacket will come in a special box to commemorate the event, and proceeds from the sale will benefit MoCA programs. The first 3 jackets go on sale this Sunday at 11 AM (when Geffen Contemporary’s doors open) and are super limited so be there on time if you're trying to get one.
