Give Good Gift: The Run Up DVD

This is a gift for our would-be Portlandist readers. Upper Playground earlier this year teamed up with gallery Fifty24SF to compile a DVD introducing the world to a variety of urban contemporary artists. The Run Up profiles 27 of today's hottest artists, with heavy leanings on traditional street art (think graffiti), but incorporating other disciplines as well. We realize that we mention our love for Seattle's home for urban contemporary art BLVD on a pretty regular basis, and this DVD is a good primer to that particular segment of the art world. Hell, even the trailers are awesome.
