Local Art Scene | Vpedia - Empowering knowledge sharing

The local art scene is a dynamic and diverse community of artists, musicians, and performers who come together to create, inspire, and express themselves. The scene was born out of a lack of mainstream clubs catering to hip hop music's emergence, with street and underground parties a mainstay. Many DJ crews formed in the early '80s playing hip hop, house and soul in disused venues with sound systems were borrowed from the reggae scene: City Rockers, 2 Bad, 2 Tuff, KC Rock, UD4, FBI, Dirty Den, Juice Crew, Rene & Bacus, Soul Twins, Fresh 4 and Bristol Ultimate DJ Masters The Wild Bunch. The scene is home to a thriving community of graffiti artists. As the local art scene continues to evolve, it is clear that its impact will be felt for generations to come.
