In the tradition of such great art-centric reality shows as “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist” and “Gallery Girls” (RIP endlessly entertaining Brooklyn hipster vs. Manhattan trustfunder rivalries) comes “Street Art Throwdown,” a televised competition that will air on Oxygen beginning February 3. The show will follow 10 up-and-coming street artists as they battle it out for a $100,000 grand prize. According to a press release, “The series tests not only their physical stamina, but also pushes their artistic skills to the limit in hopes of jump-starting their career…furiously scaling walls, climbing fences and navigating underground tunnels, these artists must have the talent, style and hustle to battle it out to the end.”
