Disney Underground celebrates the interpretations of a new generation of visual artists stemming from the urban underground pop art movement originating in 1970's Los Angeles.  Described as abstract pop surrealism, the movement has gained a foothold in the fine art community.

Disney Underground allows art patrons and Disney collectors alike to enjoy Disney as never before appreciated, interpreted through the cultural lens of artists breaking new ground in this exciting and innovative art movement.
