In contemporary Los Angeles, in 2011, street art is moving from the street to the gallery. Street art is moving away from its original place in popular culture as a kind of vagrant vandalism reserved for the gangs and the L.A. River, and moving into our museums and our hearts. Street art is grabbing the public's attention as it integrates into other art forms. An investigation of two contemporary street artists in Los Angeles further supports this new movement from the street into the gallery, and brings the theoretical issues of street art into the forefront of our study of this movement, in our cement sanctuary of Los Angeles.
