Celebrate Trace, the street artist synonymous with the city’s vibrant art scene, as he unveils a decade of impactful works, marking a pivotal period in the Twin Cities creative narrative.

Trace’s unwavering commitment to his craft culminates in this exhibition. He never bends to commercial pressures. For Trace, unsold collections are badges of honor, symbolizing his dedication to authenticity over acclaim. As he says, “Art isn’t about cashing in, it’s about staying true.”

Trace’s artistry extends beyond the canvas; it’s a dynamic conversation with the environment, a dialogue that matures and deepens over time. His approach is fiercely protective, nurturing each piece sincerely—a stark contrast to repetitive social media trends.

In a candid interview, Trace’s perspective on art and commerce is refreshingly straightforward. “As long as I’m fed, I’m the creator of my own destiny.” It’s a mantra that underscores his artistic independence.

Trace’s social agility is as notable as his artistic prowess. He effortlessly moves through diverse public landscapes, setting the tone instead of blending in. His presence, like his art, ignites conversations and challenges perceptions. Trace declares, “I’m not just part of the scene, I’m the one who sets the tone.”

Looking ahead, Trace hints at a foray into fashion—a clothing line reflecting the eclectic vibrancy of his murals. “I’m crafting a wardrobe of identities,” he muses, suggesting a sartorial extension of his artistic expression.
