The Bushwick Collective Street Art is an open-air gallery that’s surprisingly still a hidden, local-gem.

What I wrote thereFold it away

The Bushwick Collective Street Art is an open-air gallery that’s surprisingly still a hidden, local-gem. Colorful murals and captivating street art transform the neighborhood’s blocks into an urban canvas each mural tells a unique story (most are along Troutman Street, between Irving and Cypress Avenues).

Founded by Joseph Ficalora, the project has evolved into a dynamic showcase featuring works by local and international artists. From larger-than-life murals to hidden gems on warehouse doors, taking the time to admire the talent is one of the best things to do in New York City for free.
