The Bowery Graffiti Wall, a globally recognized canvas, attracts street artists from all around the globe. Its path to greatness was paved when Keith Haring painted one of the most acclaimed murals in New York City on it in 1982. Despite being overlooked for a few decades, the Bowery Wall regained its fame in 2008 when Goldman Properties started commissioning murals.

Since then it has brought some of the best murals in NYC, with a new piece going up every year or so. Featuring powerful and moving works, the Bowery Wall has served as host to some of the most famous street artists. The likes of Shephard Fairey, Ron English and Banksy have all had their art displayed.

Currently on display is a collage of 30 portraits by Japanese artist Tomokazu Matsuyama.
