Museum of graffiti how to#
Figuring out how to set a budget for something I’ve never done before was extremely challenging. Q: Were there any obstacles you had to overcome in launching the museum? A: Anytime you do something for the first time, you have to chart your own path. Through my client connections in the art world, I met Alan Ket, and we opened the Museum of Graffiti, located in Wynwood, in December 2019. Because graffiti art is done in the streets, there is rarely a plaque or information about the art, the artist, and their inspiration or technique. It became clear to me that there was a huge underworld of graffiti artists whose work went routinely unrecognized. As a side project, I began to use my legal knowledge to represent local artists in the community. My next step was to go work for a business, GlobalPro, to learn the ins and outs of running a company. It turned out that I also loved public service! I spent six years in the courtroom until I decided it was time to chase the dream of owning my own business. However, I graduated during the recession and I was lucky to land a job at the State Attorney’s Office.
After graduating from UM Law School, I decided that I probably loved the “business” portion of my business law minor more than the law part. How did you get from attorney to entrepreneur? A: I graduated from UM with a minor in business law, which I loved, so I decided to go to law school. Realizing there was a void in the art world three years ago, Allison Freidin BS ’07, ’10 JD, a third generation ’Cane, teamed up with a world renown historian on graffiti, Alan Ket, and together they opened the world’s only Museum of Graffiti.
