Brooklyn Unplugged Tours

Buschwick, NY 11206

Instagram is abuzz with selfies at Wynwood Walls in Miami, and yet NYC is synonymous with graffiti art. Though it didn’t originate in New York (thank you Philly), it certainly was popularized here during the 70’s. The incredible thing about graffiti and street art is that it is a balance between the criminal and the beautiful. Similarly, there is a constant battle between authorities and artists, making its existence ephemeral. However, in Bushwick there is critical mass made possible by groups such as the Bushwick Collective which offers a constantly changing and curated selection of graffiti and street art with the approval of the building owners. Here you can see local and world famous artists’ tags, bombs, and murals. Go on a private tour with the folks at Brooklyn Unplugged Tours and understand where everything is, why it is there, and what it means. You will be able to gain access into this world that looks beautiful, but has significantly deeper meaning and backstories that aren’t readily available to the casual observer. So, don’t forget your phones and your selfie sticks, #bushwickcollective #brooklynstreetart.
