His work captures the authenticity and evolution of graffiti culture from the inside out.

Laura “Lulu” Reich, founder of Collect With Lulu, is known for her ability to connect collectors, communities, and artists through thoughtful, story-driven curation. With over 15 years of experience in the art world, her work emphasizes the emotional and cultural impact of art in both public and private spaces.

Together, Reich and Koz have built a collaborative platform that merges curation, storytelling, and community engagement—creating exhibitions that are both culturally significant and deeply personal.

Exhibition Highlights Include:

• A curated selection of internationally recognized and emerging graffiti, contemporary, and street artists

• Works across multiple mediums including spray paint, mixed media, and sculpture

• A focus on artists who have shaped—and are currently shaping—the global street art movement

• Opportunities for collectors to acquire original works and meet select artists during the opening and throughout the weekend
