  • "It’s the kind of show that makes you want to pick up a canvas and just create something. Genuine motivation"

What is No Comply?

No Comply is an independent art show born from skate culture, DIY spirit, and a refusal to follow the rules. It brings together tattooers, illustrators, designers, and street artists who share a raw, unapologetic approach to making art.

This isn’t a white-wall gallery vibe—it’s loud, gritty, and full of attitude. The show celebrates messy, personal, and powerful stories from those living on the edge of the mainstream.

All proceeds from the show will be donated to domestic violence charities, supporting those affected and helping fund critical support services.

From painted decks and flash sheets to prints and large scale works, every piece in No Comply is a statement. It’s for the misfits, the self-taught, and the ones who make their own way.

No rules. No limits. No comply.
