LETTERS WITH GATO is a workshop focused on Graff: the art of graffiti and lettering. Learn the history behind Graff and where it began, and create your own style of lettering! Use chiseled markers or brushes to write your name & express yourself with words or messages while creating unique works of art!
About GATO (Oddy Gato): Originally from the Bronx, GATO has been creating Graff since he was young. Early on, he became notorious for graffiti in the Bronx, which eventually led him to the Albany area. He deeply appreciates how this form of art is a tool for getting messages across and expressing your emotions.

No prior knowledge or experience in the arts nor topic of specific workshops is necessary.
