About Street art & graffiti

Brooklyn is a global epicenter for street art and graffiti, where every block tells a story through vibrant murals and intricate tags. These tours take you deep into the heart of neighborhoods like Bushwick, home to the renowned Bushwick Collective, an open-air gallery showcasing works by artists from around the world. You'll learn about the evolution of graffiti, its cultural significance, and the techniques used by the artists, all while capturing incredible photos of these dynamic installations. Beyond admiring the art, some experiences offer a hands-on approach. The Brooklyn Graffiti Workshop, for instance, provides a unique opportunity to try your hand at spray painting under the guidance of a professional street artist. You'll learn basic techniques, safety, and even create your own piece to take home, offering a truly immersive understanding of this urban art form. Typical tours usually run for 2 to 3 hours, covering several blocks and featuring a diverse array of pieces, from large-scale commissioned murals to spontaneous, ephemeral works. Your local guide will point out hidden gems, explain the narratives behind the art, and introduce you to the artists who have shaped Brooklyn's visual landscape.
