The west-facing American Tent and Awning graffiti wall was created by the DF Crew in 2012 as a part of the annual Subsurface Graffiti Expo.

Subsurface is an event that showcases mural and graffiti artists from all over America and beyond. Since 2002, artists have traveled to Indianapolis every Labor Day weekend to create work and build community. Subsurface seeks to advance the art form through beautifying and revitalizing the landscape of the Fountain Square neighborhood specifically. Subsurface also seeks to raise social and cultural awareness and promote the arts as an institution of empowerment for all involved.

The DF Crew has influenced the graffiti landscape all over the world with innovative styles and was a major contributor to the early ’90s production era. Kwaze, Rapes, Emit, Ewok, Jick, Vogey, and Dero (known as an NYC subway legend) are among some of the artists showcased on this Southside graffiti wall.
