BUSHWICK COLLECTIVE BLOCK PARTY: NYC NEW YORK, USA

As we know, New York is covered in street art, but you’ll find the majority of it in Brooklyn. They celebrate it with Bushwick’s annual block party– a massive one day party full of street art, music and food. Joe Ficalora founded the Bushwick Collective. He was motivated to transform what had been desolate and crime-ridden blocks into a neighbourhood that Brooklyn could be proud of, showcasing the creative talent that resides there.

The Block Party will have as many as 40 artists working on murals and graffiti. Local artists paint most of the works, although you’ll also see some imports on the walls. The block party itself inaugurates the murals and then the party gets going with music and food throughout the weekend.
