February: This Means Everything by the TME Crew - Thriving Minds Elevate
Featuring work by: MELN, JEYA, PONSI, EASOE, MEEK, BAZAR, Caedron Burchfield, SPEK, KWEST, Tony Medellin, Carlos Perez & Joe C. Rock
TME is more than just a name—it’s a movement, a mindset, and a collective of artists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of urban expression. Founded in 1996 by BAZAR and MENER at a local high school, TME has evolved from a small group of graffiti artists into a dynamic and multifaceted crew, creating murals, tattoos, paintings, and merchandise that reflect the essence of the urban experience.
Each member of TME brings a unique voice to the table. Some specialize in spray paint, crafting large-scale murals that tell stories through bold color and form. Others channel their creativity into tattooing, multimedia works, and fine art, expanding the reach of street-inspired aesthetics into new spaces. Over the years, the crew has grown in technical skill and artistic vision, elevating their craft to produce increasingly complex and meaningful mural productions.
At its core, TME thrives on community and family- carrying on the name in honor of our fallen brothers LAMER and RAKOS- continuing to represent beyond the walls they paint, the crew is committed to fostering appreciation for graffiti culture and its artistic value. Looking ahead, TME aims to host more events that not only showcase their work but also invite the Reno/Sparks community—and beyond—to engage, learn, and create alongside them.
Through collaboration, innovation, and a deep respect for their roots, TME continues to elevate the art form, proving that thriving minds truly do elevate.

Our next call for the Example Gallery will be opening in June!
Keep checking back for more info about our upcoming shows!
Hanging requirements for work accepted into shows:
All art dropped off for the show at NFA must be ready to hang or display. Any exception to these requirements must be agreed upon PRIOR to the drop off or your art may be disqualified from the show. We now have ways to accommodate UNFRAMED artwork, to a limited capacity, if necessary.
We do NOT accept Saw Tooth Hangers (of any kind), Swiss frames or clip frames, or eyebolts mounted on pieces.
The most ideal and secure method is with D-Rings mounted high on the image. Wire optional. If your work does not have this system we can install D-rings for $5 charge in most cases. If you need us to install D-Rings, pieces must be dropped off 2-3 days before drop-off deadline. If there are any questions, you can call the store at 775-786-1128.
We reserve the right to refuse any work that is not suitable for our hanging system. This is as much to protect your work as is to avoid work being knocked off the wall and hurting someone.
