800lb Artists

800lb Artists was a street artists' collective who worked to represent the interests of street artists by making their work and talent available to a broader mainstream audience as well as traditional art circles. 800lb Artists was a gallery selling a selection of original works of art, a retail shop with a line of products by each artist and a talent agent representing the interest of the artists to advertising agencies, design firms, and feature filmmakers that wanted to work with them.
