Over the course of the next couple of days, Fitz Books will play host to a graffiti exhibition by Crime on Friday, and then Vibe Garden will set up shop on Saturday. In preparation for the events, Vinny Alejandro (Crime 129) painted a graffiti piece on the patio wall of Fitz Books, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of hip hop culture, while recognizing Buffalo’s own hip hop community.

An exhibition of work from two graffiti legends Crime 129, Vinny Alejandro of Urban Inspirations, and Blen 167, from NYC, founder of the Puerto Rico chapter of Zulu Nation.
