Bushwick has long enjoyed a reputation as a prime destination for the world’s most illustrious street artists to leave their mark. Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings have all served as large-scale canvases for muralists to engage with the history, sites, and people of one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in Brooklyn. However, residents and visitors don't always have easy access to basic information regarding any given work of art, such as artist biography, artistic motivation, or how the content and graffiti style relate to local architecture and the community's rich past. This carefully curated and independently researched walking tour is designed to provide greater context surrounding key works of contemporary art while introducing guests to local establishments. This 1.5-hour tour offers in-depth information presented in a fun, engaging way. Unlike other tours, we'll be focusing on a small number of murals, allowing us to dissect the symbolism and meaning as a group.
