About Us

Mission

Modesto Graffiti USA was created by people that love the Modesto USA culture and history.  We have grown up here, we have cruised, we have played our music and have dedicated our time to make sure that our city is known throughout the world as the “Home of American Graffiti” and the “Birthplace of Rockabilly Music”.   We are proud to call Modesto home and that is why we created Modesto Graffiti USA for you to enjoy it with us, and take some Modestocana home for your self and your friends.

Modesto Graffiti USA Cares

Profits from Modesto Graffiti USA are donated back into our community to make sure that the arts and education are supported.  Our key projects are the Peer Recovery Gallery, Music in the Schools and Hope Haven West.  Everything you purchase will keep music in the schools, and enrich the culture of Modesto.
