Sulzer Regional Library hosts When Graffiti Was Not Street Art, an African American History Month art exhibit by Chicago-based artist NICK FURY.
His exhibit, which combines drawings, paintings, printings and mixed media to create urban contemporary and street art, is on display January 15 to February 28.
Of his exhibit, FURY says, "the art will reflect original materials and terms used during the golden years (early 1980s) of Chicago's graffiti movement."
