Upstairs @ TMoms

20 Years of Street Art Culture

From the first tag to the latest wheat paste, upstairs at TMom’s has been home to a rich history of local & international street art. This is an ever changing gallery: an un-curated & spontaneous outpouring of creativity by local & traveling artists and the countless visitors who leave their unique mark here nightly.

Two Brothers & 5000 Umbrellas

The birth of the upstairs as a vibrant art space is in part tied to a 1999 exhibition by brothers Noah & Nathan Rice. That year the Brothers Rice brought their umbrella wheat pastes we’d been admiring around South Street to Mom’s. All 5000 of them.

Tmoms Sticky Art Machine

Sticker art has been an important part of the upstairs at Mom’s since day one. So it’s a huge honor (and a lot of fun) to be the home of the Sticky Art Machine.

MAD HOUSE 4: Johnson-Valenzuela, Schwartz, Myers, Colavita, Sutherland

Mad House Magazine presents a melodious showcase of poetic artistry in anticipation of Mad House Vol 4: REVOLT!

Gathered beautifully as it pupates from frantic emailing to layout stages, they will be selling preorders of the issue in order to have enough capitalist labor coupons to print copies in gorgeous full-color for everyone who wants one (& hopefully a few extra for people of the future who don’t know it exists yet).

Enjoy the perceptive, ungovernable work of these [5] poets:

+Sara Schwartz

+Gina Myers

+Angelo Colavita

+Marissa Johnson-Valenzuela

+Kirwyn Sutherland

Help us out by dropping in $10 for your copy and you’ll have our love and we’ll have a magazine waiting for you on reading night ♥
