Shepard Fairey, fresh off the opening of his new Subliminal Projects gallery, will be showing work at this week’s LA vs WAR event in downtown Los Angeles. Fairey, who gained fame with his ubiquitous “Obey” and “Giant” poster campaigns, will be one amongst hundreds of visual artists with work on display at the event. Also on tap will be a Graffiti & Stencil Garden, DJ performances and film & video screenings.

According to their website:

“LA vs WAR highlights the travesty of a senseless war now going into its 6th year, giving LA artists a platform to exercise their freedom of speech. Hundreds of artists representing our diverse communities unite in delivering a universal message of peace and understanding, and offering resistance and opposition to the US government’s war policies.”
