This landmark exhibition will be on view through March 17, 2007 in a newly renovated and expanded gallery space, which will cover approximately 4500 square feet, creating an arena for one of the largest events ever to take place at
Jonathan LeVine Gallery. A Grand Opening Celebration will be held on from 6p.m. to 9p.m. at

Ruas de So Paulo allows eight Brazilian street artists to present their untraditional media styles and native culture.
Choque Cultural Gallery, based in Sao Paulo, will collaborate on this exhibition of contemporary Brazilian art, and explore Brazil's graffiti heritage and influence on current South American mural art. Ruas de So Paulo will offer exposure for these talented artists in the art capital of the world, bringing recognition to a growing international graffiti art scene. For many of the artists, this will be their first time traveling to and showcasing their work in the United States. This will be the first group exhibition of its kind, a distinct collaboration between
Jonathan Choque Cultural Gallery.
