Launch preview and party for art exhibition of Street Art, sponsored by Fosters Ice, featuring James Lavelle, Ben Wilcox and Fred Leicester DJing.

Futura created a live painting during the exhibition on July 28,^[1] while the exhibition featured several ten billboards with art by artists Swifty, Req and others.^[2]

The October 1995 issue of Muzik, details an incident when Futura was painting his piece and a local threw a bottle at his head in protest. Futura said, "He just said he was totally against the commercialisation of this project. He didn't like the brand name going on the bottom, which in some way I kind of respect."^[3]
