Street Art Tour in New York City with Local Expert Guide

Overview

Having been a place where many various cultures, races and ages meet each other, New York has developed a unique cultural background. Street art now is a valuable and important part of modern art because of its convenience and audience – people create right on the streets and other people see it, so it lets creator realize whether he is moving in the right way or not. Moreover, as it was said, various cultures are mixed, so street art is expressed in many ways, from graffiti to paintings, from painted pieces to digital art. Now you have a chance to dive into New York street culture and enjoy significant masterpieces.

What To Expect

Dumbo

First point is 20 Jay St. #510, which is DUMBO Walls. Jonathan Levine Gallery teamed up with the DUMBO Improvement District and Two Trees Management Co to organize the beloved DUMBO Walls street art space. Acclaimed artists such as CAM, DALeast, Eltono, Shepard Fairey, Faith47, MOMO, Stefan Sagmeister and Yuko Shimizu have created murals for the project. The space is comprised of eight walls. Find more information by visiting the DUMBO Improvement District’s official website. There is the Brooklyn flea, a giant market where you can find anything this world has seen or just watch people in their common life. You can move whether by Brooklyn or Manhattan bridge to the next point of itinerary. Watch the city’s architecture from another architecture masterpiece! Also you can visit Museum at Eldridge Street on your way.

Little Italy

The next point is L.I.S.A project, Mulberry St., Little Italy. For approximately five years, the L.I.S.A. Project NYC has commissioned artists from all across the globe to create captivating works of street art in Little Italy and nearby localities. In collaboration with the Merchants Association of Little Italy, the nonprofit collective has built an extensive portfolio of public works with the most recent ones created by Sonny Sundancer, Nick Walker, GATS, KaNOkid, Crash and BKFOXX. On your way to the next destination you can find two museums at once: Tenement Museum and International Center of Photography Museum.

New York City

E. First St. is Centre-Fuge Public Art Project. Lower East Side natives Jonathan Neville and Pebbles Russell started the Centre-Fuge Public Art Project back in 2011. The pair wanted to transform boring construction sites in the region into canvasses for colorful art murals. Periodically, artists will drench the exterior walls of construction trailers with their spray-painted masterpieces. Visual artists Cycle 21, Julia Cocuzza, Mike Kuhn, Damien Miksza, Col Wallnuts and Kwue Molly are the most recent contributors to the project.

SoHo

The mural honors “everyone that has made and continues to keep the real hip-hop alive,” they said in a statement. More precisely, the work pays homage to graffiti, rap and the era of 1970s New York break dancing. As far as details go, the cap is embellished with a graffiti-bombed subway train, the boombox plays “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaataa, and a Mugsy pin painted by Rock Steady Crew member Doze Green can be found attached to the old school tracksuit top Moving to the final step, you can see Whitney Museum of American Art, Ground Zero Museum Workshop and David Zwirner art gallery close to each other.

New York City

Finally, at the Linear Park on the West Side you can see Highline Art. The High Line in NYC is an elevated park where you can not only get captivating views of lower Manhattan, but also spot a slew of striking street art. Art collective Friends of the High Line has invited artists from all parts of the world to place their artwork on the walls of buildings located near the walkway. In 2011, French artist JR created a large-scale mural portrait for his “Inside Out Project” and in 2012, Brazilian artist Kobra adorned a wall with a colorful mural inspired by Alfred Eisenstaedt’s iconic 1945 photograph dubbed V-J Day.

To celebrate my one-year anniversary in New York City my partner booked a walking tour with Monia. She was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable - it was honestly like taking a tour from a family member! We started the walking tour in Dumbo and then took the subway into lower Manhattan to explore various street art pieces around the city including murals and graffiti art - we even got a chance to stop for one of the best coffees I’ve ever had in Little Italy. I highly recommend Monia’s tour for anyone who is visiting the city, new to the city, or even residents that want to see a different side of NYC. It was a casual, relaxed, but active way to spend the early afternoon with an awesome tour guide! Thank you Monia for treating us like family and showing us a ton of new spots to revisit! :)
