Lower East Side Street Art Walking Tour in NYC

On this 2-hour art-filled walking tour, I will show you the coolest street art in NYC. I have spent years exploring and documenting NYC's street art scene, and by having me as your guide, I will share my insights with you. I regularly speak to these artists so I can share their stories! As we walk these streets, I will explain the origins of the graffiti art-form, and how it has evolved. We will discuss the different techniques that you see in the art. Most importantly, you will see dozens of unique and colorful pieces, of all sizes and types: traditional graffiti, massive murals, wheatpaste, & much more. Artists whose work we will see include: Invader, Eduardo Kobra, Shepard Fairey, Tristan Eaton, & others. You will also see pieces from the ambitious 100 Gates Project, which paired street artists with small businesses to beautify the area's roll-down gates. This is a leisurely tour, comfortable for all-ages. Perfect for photographers or those interested in learning about street art.

Our tour will begin in trendy Nolita, on Bleecker St. We will wander the art-filled streets of the Lower East Side, ending near Little Italy and SoHo.
